HBATTERY�

BATTERY SAFETY

Your device uses a removable and rechargeable lithium ion battery. Please contact customer service for assistance should you need a replacement battery.

DOs

•Only use the battery and charger approved by the manufacturer.

•Only use the battery for its original purpose.

•Try to keep batteries in a temperature between 41°F (5°C) and 95°F (35°C).

•If the battery is stored in temperatures above or below the recommended range, give it time to warm up or cool down before using.

•Completely drain the battery before recharg- ing. It may take one to four days to completely drain.

•Store the discharged battery in a cool, dark, and dry place.

•Purchase a new battery when its operating time gradually decreases after fully charging.

•Properly dispose of the battery according to local regulations.

DON’Ts

•Don’t attempt to disassemble the battery – it is a sealed unit with no serviceable parts.

•Don’t expose the battery terminals to any other metal object (e.g., by carrying it in your pocket or purse with other metallic objects such as coins, clips and pens). This can short circuit and critically damage the battery.

•Don’t leave the battery in hot or cold temperatures. This could significantly reduce the capacity and lifetime of the battery.

•Don’t dispose of the battery in a fire.

Lithium ion batteries are recyclable. When you replace your built-in battery, please request the repair center to recycle the battery in accordance with RBRC standards. When disposing of the bat- tery by yourself, please call RBRC at (800) 822-8837 for proper disposal tips.

Never touch any fluid that might leak from the built-in battery. Such liquid could cause injury to the skin or eyes. Should the liquid come into contact with the eyes, irrigate the eyes thoroughly with clean water and immediately seek medi- cal attention. In the event the liquid comes into contact with the skin or clothing, wash it away immediately with clean water.

HADAPTER/CHARGER� CHARGER

The charger designed by UTStarcom for this unit requires the use of a standard 120 V AC power source for its operation.

•Never attempt to disassemble or repair a charger.

•Never use a charger if it has a damaged or worn power cord or plug. Always contact a UTStarcom authorized service center, if repair or replacement is required.

•Never alter the AC cord or plug on your char- ger. If the plug will not fit into the available outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

•Never allow any liquids or water to spill on the charger when it is connected to an AC power source. Always use the authorized UTStarcom charger to avoid any risk of bodily injury or damage to your cellular phone or battery.

•Never attempt to connect or disconnect the charger with wet hands. Always unplug the charger from the power source before attempt- ing any cleaning. Always use a soft cloth damp- ened with water to clean the equipment, after it has been unplugged.

Handling the cord on this product or cords associ- ated with accessories sold with this product, will expose you to lead, a chemical known to the State of California to cause birth defects or other repro- ductive harm. Wash hands after handling. Always

disconnect the charger from the power source when it is not in use.
