Reference information

Don’t short circuit the battery. Accidental short circuits can occur when a metallic object (coin, clip, or pen) is touched to the + and - terminals of the battery. Shorting the terminals together may damage the battery or connecting object.

Don’t leave the battery in hot or cold places, such as in a closed car in summer or winter conditions. Doing so will reduce the capacity and lifetime of the battery. Always try to keep the battery between 15 C and 25 C (59 F and 77 F). A phone with a hot or cold battery may temporarily disable, even when the battery is fully charged. NiMH battery performance is limited in temperatures below -10°C (14 F). Li-Ion battery performance is limited in temperatures below 0 C (32 F).

Batteries must be recycled or disposed of properly. Do not dispose of them in municipal waste.

Do not dispose of batteries in a fire!

• Important safety information

Traffic safety

Don’t use a hand-held telephone while driving a vehicle. If you’re using a hand-held phone, park the vehicle before conversing. Always secure the phone in its holder and don’t place the phone on the passenger seat or where it can break loose in a collision or sudden stop.

The use of an alert device to operate a vehicle's lights or horn on public roads is not permitted. Remember, road safety always comes first!

Operating environment

Remember to follow any special regulations and always switch off your phone wherever forbidden, or when it may cause interference or danger.

When connecting the phone or accessory to another device, read its user’s guide for safety instructions. Don’t connect incompatible products.
