Battery Handling and Safety, Explosive Environments

For Your Safety

Battery Handling and Safety

• Do not disassemble or crush, bend or deform,

puncture, or shred.

• Do not modify or remanufacture, attempt to insert

foreign objects into the battery, immerse or expose

to water or other liquids, expose to fire, explosion or

other hazard.

• Only use the battery for the system for which it is

specified.

• Only use the battery with a charging system that has

been qualified by ZTE. Use of an unqualified battery

or charger may present a risk of fire, explosion,

Radio Frequency Interference

General Statement on Interference

Care must be taken when using the phone in close proximity to personal medical devices, such as pacemakers and hearing aids.

Please consult your doctor and the device manufacturer to determine if operation of your phone may interfere with the operation of your medical device.

Pacemakers

Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum separation of 15 cm be maintained between a mobile

Medical Equipment

Switch off your wireless device when requested to do so in hospitals, clinics or health care facilities. These requests are designed to prevent possible interference with sensitive medical equipment.

Aircraft

Switch off your wireless device whenever you are instructed to do so by airport or airline staff.

Consult the airline staff about the use of wireless devices on board the aircraft and enable the airplane mode of your phone when boarding an aircraft.

Explosive Environments

Gas Stations and Explosive Atmospheres

In locations with potentially explosive atmospheres, obey all posted signs to turn off wireless devices such as your phone or other radio equipment.

Areas with potentially explosive atmospheres include fueling areas, below decks on boats, fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities, areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust, or metal powders.

leakage, or other hazard.

• Do not short-circuit a battery or allow metallic

conductive objects to contact battery terminals.

• Replace the battery only with another battery that

has been qualified with the system per this standard,

IEEE-Std-1725. Use of an unqualified battery may

present a risk of fire, explosion, leakage or other

hazard.

• Promptly dispose of used batteries in accordance

with local regulations.

• Battery usage by children should be supervised.

• Avoid dropping the phone or battery.

• Improper battery use may result in a fire, explosion,

or other hazard.

• The phone shall only be connected to products that

bear the USB-IF logo or have completed the USB-IF

compliance program.

phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker. To achieve this, use the phone on the opposite ear to your pacemaker and do not carry it in a breast pocket.

Hearing Aids

People with hearing aids or other cochlear implants may experience interfering noises when using wireless devices or when one is nearby.

The level of interference will depend on the type of hearing device and the distance from the interference source, increasing the separation between them may reduce the interference. You may also consult your hearing aid manufacturer to discuss alternatives.

Interference in Vehicles

Please note that because of possible interference to electronic equipment, some vehicle manufacturers forbid the use of mobile phones in their vehicles unless a hands-free kit with an external antenna is included in the installation.

Blasting Caps and Areas

Power off your mobile phone or wireless device when in a blasting area or in areas posted power off “two-way radios” or “electronic devices” to avoid interfering with blasting operations.
