• Switch off the call restrictions on your phone, such as call barring, fixed dialling, or closed user group.

TAKE CARE OF YOUR DEVICE

Handle your device, battery, charger, and accessories with care. The following suggestions help you keep your device operational.

• Keep the device dry. Precipitation, humidity, and all types of liquids or moisture can contain minerals that corrode electronic circuits.
• Do not use or store the device in dusty or dirty areas.
• Do not store the device at high temperatures. High temperatures may damage the device or battery.
• Do not store the device at cold temperatures. When the device warms to its normal temperature, moisture can form inside the device and damage it.
• Do not open the device other than as instructed in the user guide.
• Unauthorised modifications may damage the device and violate regulations governing radio devices.
• Do not drop, knock, or shake the device or the battery. Rough handling can break it.
• Only use a soft, clean, dry cloth to clean the surface of the device.
• Do not paint the device. Paint can prevent proper operation.
• Keep the device away from magnets or magnetic fields.
• To keep your important data safe, store it in at least two separate places, such as your device, memory card, or computer, or write down important information.

During extended operation, the device may feel warm. In most cases, this is normal. To avoid getting too warm, the device may automatically slow down, close apps, switch off charging, and if necessary, switch itself off. If the device is not working properly, take it to the nearest authorised service facility.

BATTERY AND CHARGER INFORMATION

Battery and charger information

To check if your phone has a removable or non-removable battery, see the printed guide.

Devices with a removable battery Only use your device with its original rechargeable battery. The battery can be charged and discharged hundreds of times, but it will eventually wear out. When the talk and standby times are noticeably shorter than normal, replace the battery.

Devices with a non-removable battery Do not attempt to remove the battery, as you may damage the device. The battery can be charged and discharged hundreds of times, but it will eventually wear out. When the talk and standby times are noticeably shorter than normal, take the device to the nearest authorised service facility to have the battery replaced.

Charge your device with a compatible charger. Charger plug type may vary. Charging time can vary depending on device capability.

Battery and charger safety information

Once your device is fully charged, unplug the charger from the device and electrical outlet. Please note that continuous charging should not exceed 12 hours. If left unused, a fully charged battery will lose its charge over time.

Extreme temperatures reduce the capacity and lifetime of the battery. Always keep the battery between 15°C and 25°C (59°F and 77°F) for optimal performance. A device with a hot or cold battery may not work temporarily. Note that the battery may drain quickly in cold temperatures and lose enough power to switch off the phone within minutes. When you are outdoors in cold temperatures, keep your phone warm.

Obey local regulations. Recycle when possible. Do not dispose as household waste.
Do not expose the battery to extremely low air pressure or extremely high temperature, such as disposing of it in a fire, as that may cause the battery to explode or leak flammable liquid or gas.
Do not dismantle, cut, crush, bend, puncture, or otherwise damage the battery in any way. If a battery leaks, do not let liquid touch skin or eyes. If this happens, immediately flush the affected areas with water or seek medical help. Do not modify, attempt to insert foreign objects into the battery, or immerse or expose it to water or other liquids. Batteries may explode if damaged.

Use the battery and charger for their intended purposes only. Improper use of, or use of unapproved or incompatible, batteries or chargers may present a risk of fire, explosion, or other hazards, and may invalidate any approval or warranty. If you believe the battery or charger is damaged, take it to a service centre or your local phone shop before continuing to use it. Never use a damaged battery or charger. Only use the charger indoors. Do not charge your device during a lightning storm. When charger is not included in the sales pack, charge your device using the data cable (included) and a USB power adaptor (may be sold separately). You can charge your device with third-party cables and power adaptors that are compliant with USB 2.0 or later and with applicable country regulations and international and regional safety standards. Other adaptors may not meet applicable safety standards, and charging with such adaptors could pose a risk of property loss or personal injury.

To unplug a charger or an accessory, hold and pull the plug, not the cord.
Additionally, the following applies if your device has a removable battery:

• Always switch the device off and unplug the charger before removing any covers or the battery.
• Accidental short-circuiting can happen when a metallic object touches the metal strips on the battery. This may damage the battery or the other object.

SMALL CHILDREN

Your device and its accessories are not toys. They may contain small parts. Keep them out of the reach of small children.

MEDICAL DEVICES

Operation of radio transmitting equipment, including wireless phones, may interfere with the function of inadequately shielded medical devices. Consult a physician or the medical device's manufacturer to determine if it is adequately shielded from external radio energy.

IMPLANTED MEDICAL DEVICES

To avoid potential interference, manufacturers of implanted medical devices (such as cardiac pacemakers, insulin pumps and neurostimulators) recommend a minimum separation of 15.3 centimetres (6 inches) between a wireless device and the medical device. Persons who have such devices should:

• Always keep the wireless device more than 15.3 centimeters (6 inches) from the medical device.
• Not carry the wireless device in a breast pocket.
• Hold the wireless device to the ear opposite the medical device.
• Switch the wireless device off if there is any reason to suspect that interference is taking place.
• Follow the manufacturer directions for the implanted medical device.

If you have any questions about using your wireless device with an implanted medical device, consult your health care provider.

HEARING

When you use the headset, your ability to hear outside sounds may be affected. Do not use the headset where it can endanger your safety.

Some wireless devices may interfere with some hearing aids.

PROTECT YOUR DEVICE FROM HARMFUL CONTENT

Your device may be exposed to viruses and other harmful content. Take the following precautions:

• Be cautious when opening messages. They may contain malicious software or otherwise be harmful to your device or computer.
• Be cautious when accepting connectivity requests or browsing the internet. Do not accept Bluetooth® connections from sources you do not trust.
• Install antivirus and other security software on any connected computer.
• If you access preinstalled bookmarks and links to third-party internet sites, take the appropriate precautions. HMD Global does not endorse or assume liability for such sites.

VEHICLES

Radio signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic systems in vehicles. For more information, check with the manufacturer of your vehicle or its equipment. Only authorised personnel should install the device in a vehicle. Faulty installation may be dangerous and invalidate your warranty. Check regularly that all wireless device equipment in your vehicle is mounted and operating properly. Do not store or carry flammable or explosive materials in the same compartment as the device, its parts, or accessories. Do not place your device or accessories in the air bag deployment area.

POTENTIALLY EXPLOSIVE ENVIRONMENTS

Switch your device off in potentially explosive environments, such as near petrol pumps. Sparks may cause an explosion or fire resulting in injury or death. Note restrictions in areas with fuel, chemical plants, or where blasting operations are in progress. Areas with a potentially explosive environment may not be clearly marked. These are usually areas where you are advised to switch your engine off, below deck on boats, chemical transfer or storage facilities, and where the air contains chemicals or particles. Check with the manufacturers of vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or butane) if this device can be safely used in their vicinity.
