Battery Handling & Safety
Always switch the device off and disconnect the charger before removing the battery.
Only use the battery and charger supplied, or manufacturer approved replacements intended for use
with your phone. Using other batteries and chargers could be dangerous.
Do not disassemble or short-circuit the battery. Accidental short-circuiting can occur if a metallic
object such as a key, paper clip, or pen touches the terminals of the battery.
Improper battery use may result in a fire, explosion, or other hazard. If you believe the battery has been
damaged, do not use it, take it to a service centre for testing.

Interference
General statement on interference
Care must be taken when using the phone in close proximity to personal medical devices, such as
pacemakers and hearing aids.
Pacemakers
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum separation of 15 cm be maintained between
a mobile phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker. To achieve this
use the phone on the opposite ear to your pacemaker and do not carry it in a breast pocket.
Hearing Aids
People with hearing aids or other cochlear implants may experience interfering noises when using
wireless devices or when one is nearby. The level of interference will depend on the type of hearing
device and the distance from the interference source, increasing the separation between them may
reduce the interference. You may also consult your hearing aid manufacturer to discuss alternatives.
Medical devices
Please consult your doctor and the device manufacturer to determine if operation of your phone may
interfere with the operation of your medical device.
Hospitals
Switch off your wireless device when requested to do so in hospitals, clinics or health care facilities.
These requests are designed to prevent possible interference with sensitive medical equipment.
Aircraft
Switch off your wireless device whenever you are instructed to do so by airport or airline staff.
Consult the airline staff about the use of wireless devices on board the aircraft, if your device offers a
‘flight mode’ this must be enabled prior to boarding an aircraft.
Interference in cars
Please note that because of possible interference to electronic equipment, some vehicle
manufacturers forbid the use of mobile phones in their vehicles unless a handsfree kit with an external
antenna is included in the installation.
Repetitive Motion Injuries
To minimise the risk of RSI, when Texting or playing games with your phone:
- Do not grip the phone too tightly
- Press the buttons lightly
- Make use of the special features in the handset which minimise the number of buttons which have
to be pressed, such as message templates and predictive text
- Take lots of breaks to stretch and relax

in all conditions. Therefore, you must never rely solely on any wireless phone for emergency
communications.

to music at full volume on the music player may damage the listener's hearing. Use only headphones
recommended.
