• The battery is firmly attached to the battery compartment cover. Never try to remove the bat-
tery from the cover.
• Never use another charging station for your handset.

• Never try to dismantle the battery, or modify it in any way, and never subject it to strong blows.
• Never submerge the battery in fresh or salt water.
• Never use or store the battery in direct sunlight, in a vehicle parked in the blazing sun or in any
other location where there are high temperatures.
• If you ever notice discharge of liquid, an unusual smell, heat development, coloring, deforma-
tion or any other abnormal condition while you are using, charging or storing the battery,
remove the battery from the handset immediately and keep it away from open flames.
• The battery fluid could damage your sight. If you accidentally get battery fluid in your eyes,
wash them out immediately with clean tap water and then seek medical attention.

precautions and the correct handling instructions, and ensure that the children handle the bat-
tery correctly.
