Safety Precautions and Conditions of Use 125
• Do not touch the battery terminals. Batteries can cause damage,
injury or burns if a conductive material touches exposed
terminals. When the battery is detached from the phone, use a
cover made of non-conductive material for keeping and carrying
the battery safely.
• Recommended temperature for using and storing batteries is
approximately 20
q
C.
• The batteries’ performance is limited in low temperatures,
particularly below 0
q
C and the phone may not work temporarily
regardless of the amount of remaining battery power.
• Exposing the phone to extreme temperatures will shorten battery
life.
• 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.
CAUTION
RISK OF EXPLOSION IF BATTERY IS REPLACED BY AN INCORRECT TYPE, DISPOSE OF USED
BATTERIES ACCORDING TO THE INSTRUCTIONS
See “Battery Disposal” on page 14.
Aerial Care
• Do not cover the bottom area of the phone (p. 13, No. 29) with
your hand when in use as this may interfere with the
performance of the built-in aerial. Call quality may deteriorate
leading to shortened talk-time and standby time because the
mobile phone has to operate on a higher power level than is
necessary.
• Use only the aerial supplied or one approved by Sharp for your
mobile phone. Using unauthorised or modified aerials may
damage the mobile phone. Moreover, since the mobile phone
may violate the appropriate regulations, it may lose performance
or exceed the limitation of SAR levels.
• To avoid impaired performance, do not damage the aerial of the
mobile phone.
• To avoid interfering with blasting operations, please turn off the
mobile phone in a blasting area or in a place where a “turn off
two-way radio” sign is posted.
Camera Operation
• Learn picture quality, file formats, etc. beforehand.
The taken pictures can be saved in JPEG format.
• Be careful not to move your hand while taking pictures.
If the phone moves while taking a picture, the picture can become
blurred. When taking a picture, hold the phone firmly to prevent
it from moving, or use the delay timer.
• Clean the lens cover before taking a picture.
Fingerprints, oils, etc. on the lens cover hinder clear focusing.
Wipe them off with a soft cloth before taking a picture.
