for this device.
If a battery is being used for the first time or if the battery has
not been used for a prolonged period, it may be necessary to
connect the charger, then disconnect and reconnect it to
begin charging the battery. If the battery is completely
discharged, it may take several minutes before the charging
indicator appears on the display or before any calls can be
made.
Safe removal. Always switch the device off and disconnect the
charger before removing the battery.
Proper charging. Unplug the charger from the electrical plug
and the device when not in use. Do not leave a fully charged
battery connected to a charger, since overcharging may
shorten its lifetime. If left unused, a fully charged battery will
lose its charge over time.
Avoid extreme temperatures. Always try to keep the battery
between 15°C and 25°C (59°F and 77°F). Extreme
temperatures reduce the capacity and lifetime of the battery.
A device with a hot or cold battery may not work temporarily.
Battery performance is particularly limited in temperatures
well below freezing.
Do not short-circuit. Accidental short-circuiting can occur
when a metallic object such as a coin, clip, or pen causes direct
connection of the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals of
the battery. (These look like metal strips on the battery.) This
might happen, for example, when you carry a spare battery
in your pocket or purse. Short-circuiting the terminals may
damage the battery or the connecting object.
Disposal. Do not dispose of batteries in a fire as they may
explode. Dispose of batteries according to local regulations.
Please recycle when possible. Do not dispose as household
waste.
Leak. Do not dismantle, cut, open, crush, bend, puncture, or
shred cells or batteries. In the event of a battery leak, prevent
battery liquid contact with skin or eyes. If this happens, flush
the affected areas immediately with water, or seek medical
help.
Damage. Do not modify, remanufacture, attempt to insert
foreign objects into the battery, or immerse or expose it to
water or other liquids. Batteries may explode if damaged.
Correct use. Use the battery only for its intended purpose.
Improper battery use may result in a fire, explosion, or other
hazard. If the device or battery is dropped, especially on a
hard surface, and you believe the battery has been damaged,
take it to a service centre for inspection before continuing to
use it. Never use any charger or battery that is damaged. Keep
your battery out of the reach of small children.

Taking care of your device
Your device is a product of superior design and craftsmanship
and should be treated with care. The following suggestions
will help you protect your warranty coverage.
•
Keep the device dry. Precipitation, humidity, and all
types of liquids or moisture can contain minerals that
will corrode electronic circuits. If your device does get
wet, remove the battery, and allow the device to dry
completely before replacing it.
•
Do not use or store the device in dusty, dirty areas. Its
moving parts and electronic components can be
damaged.
•
Do not store the device in high or cold temperature.
High temperatures can shorten the life of electronic
devices, damage batteries, and warp or melt certain
plastics. When the device warms to its normal
temperature from a cold temperature, moisture can
form inside the device and damage electronic circuit
boards.
•
Do not attempt to open the device other than as
instructed in this guide.
•
Do not drop, knock, or shake the device. Rough
handling can break internal circuit boards and fine
mechanics.
•
Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong
detergents to clean the device. Only use a soft, clean,
dry cloth to clean the surface of the device.
•
Do not paint the device. Paint can clog the moving parts
and prevent proper operation.
•
Use only the supplied or an approved replacement
antenna. Unauthorised antennas, modifications, or
attachments could damage the device and may violate
regulations governing radio devices.
•
Use chargers indoors.
•
Backup all data you want to keep, such as contacts and
