When using your phone, battery, charger, or any accessory:

Do not attempt to open it. Non-expert handling of the device could damage it.

Do not drop, knock or shake it. Rough handling can break internal circuit boards.

Do not paint it. Paint can clog the device’s moving parts and prevent proper operation.
