Care and maintenance

General care

Your handset contains delicate electronic circuitry, magnets, and a Lithium-
Ion battery. You should treat it with care and give particular attention to the
following points:
• Do not allow the handset, battery, or accessories to come into contact with
liquids or moisture at any time. Do not immerse the handset in any liquid.
• Do not place the handset alongside computer disks, credit cards, and
other magnetic media. The information contained on disks or cards may be
affected by the handset.
• Do not paint the handset.
• Do not leave the handset or the battery in places where the temperature
could exceed 113°F (45°C), for example, on a car dashboard or a
windowsill, behind glass in direct sunlight, etc.
• Do not remove the handset's battery while the handset is powered "on."
• Take care not to allow metal objects, such as coins or key rings, to contact
or short-circuit the battery terminals.
• Do not dispose of battery packs in a fire. You can dispose of the handset's
Lithium-Ion battery safely at a Lithium-Ion recycling center.
• Do not put the handset's battery in your mouth, as battery electrolytes may
be toxic if swallowed.
• Do not attempt to disassemble the handset or any of its accessories.
• Do not put a battery into a microwave oven, dryer, or high-pressure
container.

• Do not connect a battery directly to an electrical outlet or a vehicle's DC
receptacle. Use only approved charging units.

tape to the (+) and (-) terminals.
• Do not attempt to disassemble or modify the battery.
• Do not drop or throw the handset.
• Do not subject the handset to harsh treatment.
• Stop using the battery if you notice it becoming abnormally hot, or if
you notice any odor, discoloration, deformation, or anything abnormal
occurring when using the phone, charging the battery, or when the phone
and/or battery are idle.
• In the unlikely event of a battery leak, keep the battery discharge away
from your eyes and skin. If the leakage does come into contact with your
eyes or skin, flush thoroughly with clean water and seek immediate medical
attention.
• Do not use a damaged or deformed battery.
• Do not solder a battery.
• When a battery has reached the end of its usable life cycle, immediately
remove it from any equipment.
