to water or other liquids, expose to fire, explosion or
other hazard.
• Only use the battery for the system for which it is
specified.
• Only use the battery with a charging system that has
been qualified with the system per CTIA Certification
Requirements for Battery System Compliance to IEEE
1725. Use of an unqualified battery or charger may
present a risk of fire, explosion, leakage, or other
hazard.
• Do not short-circuit a battery or allow metallic
conductive objects to contact battery terminals.
• Replace the battery only with another battery that has
been qualified with the system per this standard, IEEE-
Std-1725. Use of an unqualified battery may present a
risk of fire, explosion, leakage or other hazard.
• Promptly dispose of used batteries in accordance
with local regulations.
• Battery usage by children should be supervised.
• Avoid dropping the phone or battery. If the phone or
battery is dropped, especially on a hard surface, and
the user suspects damage, take it to a service center
for inspection.
• Improper battery use may result in a fire, explosion,
or other hazard.
• The phone shall only be connected to CTIA certified
adapters, products that bear the USB-IF logo or
products that have completed the USB-IF compliance
program.
Radio Frequency Interference
General Statement on Interference
Care must be taken when using the phone in close
proximity to personal medical devices, such as
pacemakers and hearing aids.
Pacemakers
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum
separation of 15 cm be maintained between a mobile
phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference
with the pacemaker. To achieve this, use the phone on
the opposite ear to your pacemaker and do not carry it
in a breast pocket.
Hearing Aids
People with hearing aids or other cochlear implants
may experience interfering noises when using wireless
devices or when one is nearby. The level of interference
will depend on the type of hearing device and the
distance from the interference source. Increasing the
separation between them may reduce the interference.
You may also consult your hearing aid manufacturer to
discuss alternatives.
Medical Devices
Please consult your doctor and the device manufacturer
to determine if operation of your phone may interfere
with the operation of your medical device.
Blasting Caps and Areas
Power off your mobile phone or wireless device when in
a blasting area or in areas posted power off “two-way
radios” or “electronic devices” to avoid interfering with
blasting operations.
Hospitals
Turn off your wireless device when requested to do
so in hospitals, clinics or health care facilities. These
requests are designed to prevent possible interference
with sensitive medical equipment.
Aircraft
Turn off your wireless device whenever you are
instructed to do so by airport or airline staff. Consult the
airline staff about the use of wireless devices onboard
the aircraft. If your device offers a ‘flight mode’, this
must be enabled prior to boarding an aircraft.
Interference in Cars
Please note that because of possible interference with
electronic equipment, some vehicle manufacturers
forbid the use of mobile phones in their vehicles unless
a hands-free kit with an external antenna is included in
the installation.
Explosive Environments
Gas Stations and Explosive
Atmospheres
In locations with potentially explosive atmospheres,
obey all posted signs to turn off wireless devices such
as your phone or other radio equipment. Areas with
potentially explosive atmospheres include fueling areas,
below decks on boats, fuel or chemical transfer or
storage facilities, areas where the air contains chemicals
or particles, such as grain, dust, or metal powders.
