ABOUT BATTERY USAGE

Your phone is powered by a Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) battery. Therefore, you can recharge battery while

some charge remains without reducing your phone’s autonomy. For a safe use of the battery,

xDo not use a damaged battery or charger.

BASIC INSTRUCTIONS

xDo not disassemble, open crush, bend, deform, puncture or shred the battery.

xDo not modify or remanufacture, insert foreign objects into the battery, immerse or expose to water

or other liquids, expose to fire, explosion or other hazard.

xDo not put your battery in contact with conductive objects.

xDispose of and recycle used batteries in accordance with local regulations. Do not dispose of

batteries by burning; they may explode.

xDo not use an unauthorized charger or battery.

xUse the battery only for the device for which it is specified.

xUse 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.

xDo not short circuit a battery or allow metallic conductive objects to contact battery terminals.

xReplace the battery only with another battery that has been qualified with the device per this

standard, IEEEStd-1725-2006.

xChildren should be supervised when they use the battery.

xAvoid 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.

xUse your battery for the specified purpose only.

xThe closer you move to your network’s base station, the longer you can use your phone because

less battery power is required for connection.

xThe battery recharging time varies depending on the remaining battery capacity and the battery

and charger type.

xBattery life inevitably shortens over time.

xSince 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.

xTo prevent injury or burns, ensure that no metal objects come into contact with the + and –

terminals of the battery.
