￿If you put your phone in a pocket or bag without covering the receptacle of the phone (power plug pin), metallic articles (such as a coin, paperclip or pen) may short-circuit the phone. Always cover the receptacle when not in use.

￿Do not short-circuit the battery. Metallic articles such as a coin, paperclip or pen in your pocket or bag may short- circuit the + and – terminals of the battery (metal strips on the battery) upon moving. Short-circuits of the terminal may damage the battery and cause an explosion.

￿Do not disassemble the battery as it may cause electric shock, short-circuit, or fire.

￿Do not expose the phone to excessive vibration or a sharp impact.

￿Never place your phone in a microwave oven as it will cause the battery to explode.

General Warnings and Cautions

￿Store the battery in a place out of reach of children.

￿Using a damaged battery or placing a battery in your mouth may cause serious injury.

￿Do not place items containing magnetic components such as a credit card, phone card, bank book or a subway ticket near your phone. The magnetism of the phone may damage the data stored in the magnetic strip.

￿Do not hold or let the antenna come in contact with your body during a call.

￿Talking on your phone for a long period of time may reduce the call quality due to heat generated during use.
