Health and Safety Information
• Do not leave the battery in hot or cold places,
such as in a car in summer or winter
conditions, as you will reduce the capacity and
lifetime of the battery. Always try to keep the
battery at room temperature. A phone with a
hot or cold battery may temporarily not work,
even when the battery is fully charged. Li-ion
batteries are particularly affected by
temperatures below 0 °C (32 °F).
• Do not short-circuit the battery. Accidental
short- circuiting can occur when a metallic
object (coin, clip or pen) causes a direct
connection between the + and – terminals of
the battery (metal strips on the battery), for
example when you carry a spare battery in a
pocket or bag. Short-circuiting the terminals
may damage the battery or the object causing
the short-circuiting.
• Dispose of used batteries in accordance with
local regulations. Always recycle. Do not
dispose of batteries in a fire.

Road Safety
Your wireless phone gives you the powerful
ability to communicate by voice, almost
anywhere, anytime. But an important
responsibility accompanies the benefits of
wireless phones, one that every user must
uphold.
When driving a car, driving is your first
responsibility. When using your wireless phone
behind the wheel of a car, practice good common
sense and remember the following tips.
1. Get to know your wireless phone and its
features, such as speed dial and redial. If
available, these features help you to place
your call without taking your attention off the
road.
2. When available, use a hands-free device. If
possible, add an extra layer of convenience
and safety to your wireless phone with one of
the many hands-free accessories available
today.
3. Position your wireless phone within easy
reach. Be able to access your wireless phone
without removing your eyes from the road. If
you get an incoming call at an inconvenient
time, let your voice mail answer it for you.
4. Let the person you are speaking with know
you are driving; if necessary, suspend the call
in heavy traffic or hazardous weather
conditions. Rain, sleet, snow, ice and even
heavy traffic can be hazardous.
