Safety Precautions

Handling the Battery

DANGER

Do not dispose of the battery pack in a fire. It may explode. Check with local waste management codes for disposal instructions.

Do not force the battery pack into the phone. Improper installation can cause malfunctions or damage the battery pack. This may result in fire or personal injury.

Use caution in handling batteries in order not to short the battery on conductive materials such as rings, bracelets, and keys. The battery and/or conductor may overheat and cause burns.

If the battery becomes too hot while recharging, it should be removed immediately from the charger.

When clothes or skin are exposed to battery leakage, rinse with clean water at once to prevent skin irritation.

Do not use a cracked, leaking or odor-emitting battery pack near an open flame or high temperatures.

CAUTION

If a fully discharged battery is stored for a long period of time, it may not be possible to recharge the battery.

Observe local waste management codes for proper battery disposal instructions.
