Precautions

03 Precautions
Protect batteries and chargers from damage
• Avoid exposing batteries to very cold or very hot temperatures (below 0° C/32° F or above 45° C/115° F).
Extreme temperatures can reduce the charging capacity and life of your batteries.
• Prevent batteries from contacting metal objects, as this can create a connection between the + and -
terminals of your batteries and lead to temporary or permanent battery damage.

• Never use a damaged charger or battery.

Handle your phone carefully and sensibly

• Do not allow your phone to get wet—liquids can cause serious damage. Do not handle your phone with wet
hands. Water damage to your phone can void your manufacturer’s warranty.

• Avoid using or storing your phone in dusty, dirty areas to prevent damage to moving parts.
• Your phone is a complex electronic device - protect it from impacts and rough handling to avoid serious
damage.

• Do not paint your phone, as paint can clog moving parts and prevent proper operation.
• Avoid using the phone’s camera flash or light close to the eyes of children or animals.
• Your phone and memory cards may be damaged by exposure to magnetic fields. Do not use carrying cases
or accessories with magnetic closures or allow your phone to come in contact with magnetic fields for
extended periods of time.

Avoid interference with other electronic devices

Your phone emits radio frequency (RF) signals that may interfere with unshielded or improperly shielded
electronic equipment, such as pacemakers, hearing aids, medical devices, and other electronic devices
in homes or vehicles. Consult the manufacturers of your electronic devices to solve any interference problems
you experience.
