• Use the battery only for its intended purpose. Never use any charger or battery that is damaged.
Do not short-circuit the battery. Accidental short-circuiting can occur when a metallic object such
as a coin, clip, or pen causes direct connection of the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals of the
battery. (These look like metal strips on the battery.) Short-circuiting the terminals may damage
the battery or the connecting object.
• Leaving the battery in hot or cold places, such as in a closed car in summer or a freezer in
winter conditions, will reduce the capacity and lifetime of the battery. A hot or cold battery may
not function temporarily, even when the battery is fully charged.
• Do not dispose of batteries in a fire! Dispose of batteries according to local regulations. Please
recycle when possible. Cellphones are not considered household waste.

• Keep the device dry. Precipitation, humidity, and all types of liquids or moisture can contain
minerals that will corrode electronic circuits. If your device does get wet, remove the battery and
allow the device to dry completely before replacing it.
• Do not use or store the device in dusty, dirty areas. Its moving parts and electronic components
can be damaged.
• Do not store the device in hot areas. High temperatures can shorten the life of electronic devices,
damage batteries, and warp or melt certain plastics.
• Do not store the device in cold areas. When the device returns to its normal temperature,
moisture can form inside the device and damage electronic circuit boards.
• Do not attempt to open the device other than as instructed in this guide.
