affect the electronic navigation equipment in the aircraft.
Turn off in hospitals and near medical

equipment for private purposes. Always consult with the
medical equipment’s manufacturer or an expert regarding
phone use near the medical equipment.

Important Safety Information
Turn off in dangerous areas
Always turn your phone off in areas where explosive or
dangerous materials (e.g. fuels or chemical products) are
located and obey relevant instructions or signs. Do not insert
or remove your mobile phone’s battery in such areas.
Install a hands-free device in a safe location
Install a hands-free device away from the steering wheel and
airbag expansion areas. Otherwise, a driver may be injured by
the hands-free devices in a car accident.
Keep away from other electronic devices
Mobile phones emit electromagnetic waves that may affect
nearby electronic devices. After turning on your phone, do not
place it near other sensitive electronic goods.
About battery usage
Your phone is powered by a lithium-ion (Li-Ion) battery. In
other words, you can recharge your battery while some charge
remains without reducing its effectiveness as a result of the
“memory effect” inherent in other battery technologies.
Do not use a damaged battery or charger.
Do not disassemble, open crush, bend, deform, puncture,
or shred the battery.
Do not modify, remanufacture, or insert foreign objects into
the battery.
Do not immerse or expose the battery to water or other
liquids, fire, explosions, or other hazards.
Do not put your battery in contact with conductive objects.
Dispose of and recycle used batteries in accordance with
local regulations. Do not dispose of batteries by burning;
they may explode.
Do not use an unauthorized charger or battery.
Use the battery only for the device for which it is specified.
Use the battery with a charging device that has been
qualified for the device per this standard. Use of an
unqualified battery or charger may present a risk of fire,
explosion, leakage, or other hazard.
Do not short-circuit a battery or allow metal conductive
objects to come into contact with the battery terminals.
Replace the battery only with another battery that has
been qualified with the device per this standard, IEEE-
Std-1725-2006.
Children should be supervised when they use the battery.
Avoid dropping the phone or the battery. If the phone or
the battery is dropped, especially on a hard surface, and
the user suspects damage, take it to a service center for
inspection.
Use the battery for its specified purpose only.
The closer you move to your network’s base station, the
longer you can use your phone because less battery power
is required for connection.
The battery recharging time varies depending on remaining
the battery capacity and the battery, and charger type.
Battery life inevitably shortens over time.
Since overcharging may shorten battery life, remove the
phone from its charger once it is fully charged. Unplug the
charger once charging is complete. Leaving the battery
in hot or cold places, especially inside a car in summer or
winter, may reduce its capacity and life.

To prevent injury or burns, ensure that no metal objects
come into contact with the + and – terminals of the battery.
