Precautions 49
• Do not use your phone if the antenna is damaged. If you happen to touch a damaged
antenna, you may suffer from a minor skin burn. Have it replaced as soon as possible by
a qualified technician, and be sure that it is replaced with a genuine manufacturer’s repla-
cement part.
• Avoid low reception areas, like in tunnels or between tall buildings; if possible, move to a
different location. In low reception areas the
s icon on the phone display shows fewer
than the maximum of four bars reception.
• You should only use genuine Philips accessories, as the use of any other accessories may
damage your phone, and it makes all guarantees for your Philips phone null and void.
Your phone manufacturer will not be held liable for any damage resulting from the use of
accessories, other than their own genuine accessories.
• Do not use battery chargers other than those specified by your phone’s manufacturer.
The use of any other charger may be dangerous and will make null and void any type
approval given to the phone.
Battery and charger safety
Use only batteries specified by your phone manufacturer, as the use of any other accesso-
ries makes all guaranties null and void, and as explained above your phone manufacturer
will not be held liable for any damage resulting from the use of accessories other than their
own genuine accessories.
• Do not allow metal objects, such as keys or change in your pocket, to come into contact
with the battery contacts, and may short circuit it.
• Do not deform or open the battery.
• Do not immerse the battery in water or dispose of it in a fire.
• It is advisable to keep your battery attached to the phone even when discharged to avoid
losing your settings, and your back up battery for the clock in the phone will last longer.
However, do not leave the battery and phone connected to a charger, or the phone in a
desktop charger once the battery is fully charged; overcharging can have a negative effect
on the capacity of the battery.
• Under no circumstances should the removable plug section of the travel charger be
connected to a mains supply without the transformer attached. This applies to the travel
charger purchased as an accessory.
• The battery should be recharged at or near room temperature. If the temperature is
lower than 0° C (32°F) or higher than 45° C (113°F) the battery icon flashes which
means that the battery cannot be recharged.
