15 phone and battery care
Warning: Use only batteries, charger and
accessories approved for use with this particular
phone model. The use of any other types may
invalidate any approval or warranty applying to the
phone, and may be dangerous.
■
Do not charge the battery when either of your
phone’s covers are removed.
■
Keep the phone and all its parts and
accessories out of children’s reach.
■
Your phone is not water resistant. Keep it dry.
Precipitation, humidity and all types of liquids or
moisture can contain minerals that will corrode
electronic circuits.
■
Do not use your phone in dusty, dirty areas. Its
moving parts can be damaged.
■
Your phone is powered by a rechargeable
battery. Note that a new battery’s full
performance may only be achieved after two or
three complete charge and discharge cycles.
■
The battery can be charged and discharged
hundreds of times but it will eventually wear out.
When the operating time (talk time and standby
time) is noticeably shorter than normal, it is time
to buy a new battery.
■
Temperature extremes may affect the ability of
your battery to charge: allow it to cool down or
warm up first.
■
Never use any charger or battery which is
damaged or worn out.
■
Always unplug the charger when not in use. Do
not leave the batteries connected to the charger
for longer than a week, since overcharging may
shorten its lifetime. If left unused, a fully charged
battery will discharge itself over time.
■
Do not paint your phone as this can clog its
moving parts and prevent operation.
■
Only use the antenna supplied or an approved
replacement antenna. Unauthorised antennae,
modifications or attachments could damage the
phone and may violate regulations governing
use of mobile phones.
■
Keep all SIM Cards out of children’s reach.
■
Use your phone battery only for its intended
purpose, and never use any charger or battery
which is damaged or worn out.
■
Never allow the battery terminals to short
circuit, as this can cause damage to the battery
or to the connecting object (a short circuit can
occur if a metallic object such as a coin, clip or
pen causes direct connection between the +
and - terminals of the battery). Therefore,
always take adequate precautions when
carrying a spare battery in a purse or pocket.
13 explosive materials
■
You are advised to switch off your phone when
at a petrol station or other refuelling point. You
must observe restrictions on the use of radio
equipment in fuel depots (fuel storage and
distribution areas); chemical plants or where
blasting operations are in progress.
■
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere
are often but not always clearly marked. They
include: below deck on boats; chemical transfer
or storage facilities; vehicles using liquefied
petroleum gas (such as propane or butane);
areas where the air contains chemicals or
particles, such as grain, dust or metal powders;
and any other area where you would normally
be advised to turn off your vehicle engine.
Note : The functioning of your phone can be
affected by localised conditions, and we cannot
guarantee coverage inside buildings. If you have
difficulty in making or receiving calls, you should
contact Orange customer services.
14 general safety information
■
When changing your phone’s cover, always
switch off the power and disconnect the phone
from the charger or any other device. Always
store the phone with the covers attached.
Never use a phone without a cover.
■
Remember to always make backup copies of all
important data.
■
Your phone must be switched on to access
games, ring tone composer, calendar,
calculator, wap, infrared, timer and other similar
features. Do not switch your phone on when
mobile phone use is prohibited or when it may
cause interference or danger.
■
The information or services you have accessed
using wap are stored in the cache of your
phone, which is a memory used to store data
temporarily.
You should empty the cache of your phone
after each use to ensure that any confidential
information cannot be accessed by anyone
using your phone.
■
Parts of the phone are magnetic. Metallic
materials may be attracted to the phone. Always
secure the phone in its holder because metallic
materials may be attracted by the earpiece. Do
not place credit cards or other magnetic storage
media near the phone, because information
stored on them may be erased.
■
Always switch your phone off in any facility
where posted notices so require.
