Battery Pack(s).
Battery: Lithium 2500mAh
Take extra precautions

• Keep the battery or device dry and away from water or any liquid as it
may cause a short circuit.
• Keep metal objects away so they don't come in contact with the battery
or its connectors as it may lead to short circuit during operation.
• The phone should only be connected to products that bear the USB-IF
logo or have completed the USB-IF compliance program.
• Do not use a battery that appears damaged, deformed, or discolored, or
the one that has any rust on its casing, overheats, or emits a foul odor.
• Always keep the battery out of the reach of babies and small children,
to avoid swallowing of the battery. Consult the doctor immediately if the
battery is swallowed.
• Only use the battery with a charging system that has been qualified
with the system per this standard, IEEE-Std-172 5-2011. Use of an
unqualified battery or charger may present a risk of fire, explosion,
leakage or other hazard.
• Replace the battery only with another battery that has been qualified with
the system per this standard, IEEE-Std-172 5-2011. Use of an unqualified
battery may present a risk of fire, explosion, leakage or other hazard.
• 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 centre for inspection.
• If the battery leaks:
• Do not allow the leaking fluid to come in contact with skin or clothing.
If already in contact, flush the affected area immediately with clean
water and seek medical advice.
• Do not allow the leaking fluid to come in contact with eyes. If already
in contact, DO NOT rub; rinse with clean water immediately and seek
medical advice.
• Take extra precautions to keep a leaking battery away from fire as
there is a danger of ignition or explosion.
Safety precautions for direct sunlight
Keep this product away from excessive moisture and extreme temperatures.
Do not leave the product or its battery inside a vehicle or in places where the
temperature may exceed 140˚F (60˚C), such as on a car dashboard, window
sill, or behind a glass that is exposed to direct sunlight or strong ultraviolet
light for extended periods of time. This may damage the product, overheat
the battery, or pose a risk to the vehicle.
Prevention of hearing loss
CAUTION: Permanent hearing loss may occur if earphones or headphones
are used at high volume for prolonged periods of time.
Safety in aircraft
Due to the possible interference caused by this product to an aircraft's
navigation system and its communications network, using this device's
phone function on board an airplane is against the law in most countries. If
you want to use this device when on board an aircraft, remember to turn off
your phone by switching to Airplane Mode.
Environment restrictions
Do not use this product in gas stations, fuel depots, chemical plants or
where blasting operations are in progress, or in potentially explosive
atmospheres such as fuelling areas, fuel storehouses, below deck on
boats, chemical plants, fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities, and
areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust, or
metal powders. Please be aware that sparks in such areas could cause an
explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death.

Explosive atmospheres
When in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere or where
flammable materials exist, the product should be turned off and the user
should obey all signs and instructions. Sparks in such areas could cause an
explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death.
Users are advised not to use the equipment at refueling points such as
service or gas stations, and are reminded of the need to observe restrictions
on the use of radio equipment in fuel depots, chemical plants, or where
blasting operations are in progress. Areas with a potentially explosive
atmosphere are often, but not always, clearly marked. These include fueling
areas, below deck on boats, fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities,
and areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain,
dust, or metal powders.
Road safety
Full attention must be given to driving at all times in order to reduce the
risk of an accident. Using a phone while driving (even with a hands free kit)
causes distraction and can lead to an accident. You must comply with local
laws and regulations restricting the use of wireless devices while driving.
Safety precautions for RF exposure
 Avoid using your phone near metal structures (for example, the steel
frame of a building).
 Avoid using your phone near strong electromagnetic sources, such as
microwave ovens, sound speakers, TV and radio.
 Use only original manufacturer-approved accessories, or accessories
that do not contain any metal.
 Use of non-original manufacturer-approved accessories may violate your
local RF exposure guidelines and should be avoided.
Interference with medical equipment functions
This product may cause medical equipment to malfunction. The use of this
device is forbidden in most hospitals and medical clinics.
If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer
of your device to determine if they are adequately shielded from external
RF energy. Your physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this
information.
Turn your phone OFF in health care facilities when any regulations posted in
these areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be
using equipment that could be sensitive to external RF energy.
Nonionizing radiation
Your device has an internal antenna. This product should be operated in its
normal-use position to ensure the radiative performance and safety of the
interference. As with other mobile radio transmitting equipment, users are
advised that for satisfactory operation of the equipment and for the safety of
personnel, it is recommended that no part of the human body be allowed to
come too close to the antenna during operation of the equipment.
Use only the supplied integral antenna. Use of unauthorized or modified
antennas may impair call quality and damage the phone, causing loss of
performance and SAR levels exceeding the recommended limits as well as
result in non-compliance with local regulatory requirements in your country.
To assure optimal phone performance and ensure human exposure to RF
energy is within the guidelines set forth in the relevant standards, always
use your device only in its normal-use position. Contact with the antenna
area may impair call quality and cause your device to operate at a higher
power level than needed. Avoiding contact with the antenna area when the
phone is IN USE optimizes the antenna performance and the battery life.
Electrical safety
