Battery safety

• Stop using the battery if you detect any abnormalities, such as odour,
discolouration or heat during use, charging or storage.
• Do not use your Vertu phone with a damaged battery.

battery.
• Do not touch the battery terminals.

• Do not store your Vertu phone in, or near, direct heat sources such as radiators.
This could cause the battery to overheat and explode.

harmful if swallowed or allowed to come into contact with unprotected skin.

from your eyes and skin. If the leakage does come into contact with eyes or skin,
flush thoroughly with clean water and consult a doctor.
