Safety information
•
Never burn or heat batteries, and do not dispose of them in environments which
are at risk of heat or fire to prevent battery fluid escaping, overheating, explosion
and fire. Do not disassemble, weld and/or modify the battery. Do not keep the
battery where it is exposed to strong mechanical effects.
•
Do not use any sharp objects (such as screwdrivers) to touch or pierce the battery.
There is a risk that battery fluid will escape or the battery will overheat, explode or
catch fire and burn. Crushing, heating and burning batteries are strictly prohibited.
•
The battery electrolyte coming into contact with eyes can cause a loss of eyesight.
If electrolyte does enter an eye, please do not rub the eye with a hand. Immediately
wash the affected eye thoroughly with clear water and consult a doctor. The elec-
trolyte coming into contact with skin (or clothing) presents a risk of skin burns.
Immediately wash the skin or clothing thoroughly with soap and clear water, and
consult a doctor if required.
•
Never use batteries for purposes other than those specified. Never use a damaged
battery. If the battery becomes hot, discolours, deforms or becomes leaky whilst
being used, charged or kept in a safe place, it must be replaced immediately by a
new battery for safety reasons.
•
The battery temperature rises during the charging process. Do not keep the
battery together with ignitable products in the same drawer as this poses a risk of
fire.
•
Do not charge the battery for longer than 12 hours.
•
Only charge the device indoors. Whilst the phone is charging, do not use the
phone for calls or dial any numbers.
•
The socket must be easily accessible during the charging process.
•
Electrical storms pose a risk of electric shocks.
•
Do not use the charger when the power cable is damaged or no battery is inserted
in the mobile phone because this poses a risk of electric shock and fire.
Headset
High volumes can impair hearing.
Listening to music or conversation with headphones set to a loud volume
can be unpleasant and permanently impair hearing.
To prevent loss of hearing, do not have the volume turned up too high for
long periods.
•
If you wear headphones whilst out walking or running, please ensure that the cord
does not wrap itself around your body or objects on your person.
•
Only wear headphones in dry environments. The static electricity which builds up
on the headphones can discharge via your ears as an electric shock. The static elec-
tricity can discharge if you touch the headphones with your hand or touch bare
metal before connecting with the mobile phone.
