Never dispose of batteries or phones in a fire. Follow all local
regulations when disposing used batteries or phones.
Never place batteries or phones on or in heating devices, such as
microwave ovens, stoves, or radiators. Batteries may explode when
overheated.
Never crush or puncture the battery. Avoid exposing the battery to high
external pressure, which can lead to an internal short circuit and
overheating.
Avoid interference with pacemakers
Maintain a minimum of 15 cm (6 inches) between mobile phones and
pacemakers to avoid potential interference, as recommended by manufacturers
and the independent research group, Wireless Technology Research. If you
have any reason to suspect that your phone is interfering with a pacemaker or
other medical device, turn off the phone immediately and contact the
manufacturer of the pacemaker or medical device for guidance.
Turn off the phone in potentially explosive environments
Do not use your phone at refuelling points (service stations) or near fuels or
chemicals. Turn off your phone whenever directed by warning signs or
instructions. Your phone could cause explosions or fire in and around fuel or
chemical storage and transfer areas or blasting areas. Do not store or carry
flammable liquids, gases, or explosive materials in the same compartment as
the phone, its parts, or accessories.
Reduce the risk of repetitive motion injuries
When sending text messages or playing games on your phone, hold the phone
with a relaxed grip, press the keys lightly, use special features that reduce the
number of keys you have to press (such as templates and predictive text), and
take frequent breaks.
