strong impacts. Doing so may cause the battery to leak,
overheat, burst, ignite, or cause other equipment to fail or
catch fire.
Turn off the handset in advance and also do not use
the charging device in a place where there is a risk of
ignition or explosion. Using these devices in places such
as a filling station where there is an inflammable atmosphere
such as from propane gas, petrol fumes, or coal, dust, metal, etc., may
result in an explosion or fire.
Do not place the handset, battery and charging
device in a cooking unit such as a microwave oven or
pressure cooker. Doing so may cause the battery to leak,
overheat, burst or ignite, or may cause the handset or charging device to
overheat, smoke, ignite, or cause damage to the circuits.
Keep the charging terminals, connector, microSD
memory card holder and USIM Card slot away from
liquids or conductive foreign objects (metal, pencil
lead, etc.). Do not insert such objects inside. Failure to
observe these precautions may result in short circuits, causing these
devices to ignite or malfunction.
