Health and safety information
• Do not leave the battery in hot or cold places because the
capacity and lifetime of the battery will be reduced. Try to
keep the battery at room temperature. A phone with a
hot or cold battery may not work temporarily, even when
the battery is fully charged. Li-ion batteries are
particularly affected by temperatures below
• Do not short-circuit the battery. Accidental short-
circuiting can occur when a metallic object like a coin, clip
or pen causes a direct connection between the + and –
terminals of the battery (metal strips on the battery). For
example, do not carry a spare battery in a pocket or bag
where the battery may contact metal objects. 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 you are driving a car, driving is your first responsibility.
When using your wireless phone while driving, follow local
regulations in the country or region you are in.
Operating environment
Remember to follow any special regulations in force in the
area you are in, and always switch off your phone whenever
it is forbidden to use it, or when it may cause interference or
danger.
When connecting the phone or any accessory to another
device, read its user's guide for detailed safety instructions.
Do not connect incompatible products.

As with other mobile radio transmitting equipment, users are
advised that for the satisfactory operation of the equipment
and for the safety of personnel, it is recommended that the
equipment should only be used in the normal operating
position (held to your ear with the antenna pointing over
0° C (32°
F).
your shoulder).
Electronic devices
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from radio
frequency (RF) signals. However, certain electronic
equipment may not be shielded against the RF signals from
your wireless phone. Consult the manufacturer to discuss
alternatives.
Pacemakers
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum
distance of 15 cm (6 inches) be maintained between a
wireless phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential
interference with the pacemaker. These recommendations
are consistent with the independent research and
recommendations of Wireless Technology Research. If you
have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place,
switch off your phone immediately.
Hearing aids
Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some
hearing aids. In the event of such interference, you may
wish to consult your hearing aid manufacturer to discuss
alternatives.
Other medical devices
If you use any other personal medical devices, consult the
manufacturer of your device to determine if it is adequately
shielded from external RF energy.
Your physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this
information.
