14 Safety instructions
• Replace the battery when it no longer provides acceptable performance.
The battery can be recharged several hundred times before replacement.
• Charge the battery after long periods without use to maximize its life.
• The battery life will vary depending on usage patterns and environmental
conditions.
• Intensive use of backlighting, browser, and packet data connectivity affect
battery life and talk/standby times.
• The role of self-protection interrupts the phone when its operation is in an
abnormal state. In this case, remove the battery from the phone, reinstall it,
and turn on the phone.
Explosion, Shock and Fire Danger
• Do not place the phone in a place exposed to excessive dust, and keep the
minimum required distance between the power cord and heat sources.
• Unplug the power cord before cleaning the phone, and clean the power
plug whenever it is dirty.
• When using the power plug, make sure it is firmly connected. Otherwise, it
can overheat or start a fire.
• Placing the phone in a pocket or bag without covering the receptacle
(power plug pin), metallic articles (such as a coin, clip or pen) may short-
circuit the phone. Always cover the receptacle when not in use.
• Do not short-circuit the battery. Metal items, such as coins, paper clips, or
pens, in your pocket or bag may cause a shortcircuit between the + and -
terminals of the battery (metal strips on the battery). The short-circuit of
the terminals may damage the battery and cause an explosion.
General Notice
• Using a damaged battery, or inserting it into the mouth can cause serious
injuries.
• Do not place the phone in proximity to items containing magnetic
components, such as credit cards, calling cards, bank books, or subway
tickets. The phone magnetism may damage the data stored in the
magnetic strip.
• Talking on the phone for a long period of time may reduce call quality,
because of the heat generated during use.
