To avoid getting too warm, the device may automatically slow down, close apps, switch off charging, and if necessary, switch itself off. If the device is not working properly, take it to the nearest authorized service facility.
Recycle
Always return your used electronic products, batteries, and packaging
materials to dedicated collection points. This way you help prevent
uncontrolled waste disposal and promote the recycling of materials. Electrical
and electronic products contain a lot of valuable materials, including metals
(such as copper, aluminum, steel, and magnesium) and precious metals (such as
gold, silver, and palladium). All materials of the device can be recovered as
materials and energy.
Crossed-out wheeled bin symbol
The crossed-out wheeled bin symbol on your product, battery, literature, or
packaging reminds you that all electrical and electronic products and
batteries must be taken to separate collection at the end of their working
life. Do not dispose of these products as unsorted municipal waste: take them
for recycling. For info on your nearest recycling point, check with your local
waste authority.
About Digital Rights Management
When using this device, obey all laws and respect local customs, privacy and
legitimate rights of others, including copyrights. Copyright protection may
prevent you from copying, modifying, or transferring photos, music, and other
content.
Battery and charger info
To check if your phone has a removable or non-removable battery, see the Get
started guide.
Devices with a removable battery
Use your device only with an original rechargeable battery. The battery can be
charged and discharged hundreds of times, but it will eventually wear out.
When the talk and standby times are noticeably shorter than normal, replace
the battery.
Devices with a non-removable battery
Do not attempt to remove the battery or back cover, as you may damage the
device. The battery can be charged and discharged hundreds of times, but it
will eventually wear out. When the talk and standby times are noticeably
shorter than normal, to replace the battery, take the device to the nearest
authorized service facility.
Chargers
Charge your device with a compatible charger. Charger plug type may vary. Some
of the accessories mentioned in this user guide, such as charger, headset, or
data cable, may be sold separately.
Battery and charger safety
Once charging of your device is complete, unplug the charger from the device
and electrical outlet. Please note that continuous charging should not exceed
12 hours. If left unused, a fully charged battery will lose its charge over
time.
Always keep the battery between 15°C and 25°C (59°F and 77°F) for optimal
performance. Extreme temperatures reduce the capacity and lifetime of the
battery. A device with a hot or cold battery may not work temporarily.
Obey local regulations. Recycle when possible. Do not dispose as household
waste.
Do not expose the battery to extremely low air pressure or leave it to
extremely high temperature, for example dispose it in a fire, as that may
cause the battery to explode or leak flammable liquid or gas. Do not
dismantle, cut, crush, bend, puncture, or otherwise damage the battery in any
way. If a battery leaks, do not let liquid touch skin or eyes. If this
happens, immediately flush the affected areas with water, or seek medical
help. Do not modify, attempt to insert foreign objects into the battery, or
immerse or expose it to water or other liquids. Batteries may explode if
damaged.
Use the battery and charger for their intended purposes only. Improper use, or
use of unapproved or incompatible batteries or chargers may present a risk of
fire, explosion, or other hazard, and may invalidate any approval or warranty.
If you believe the battery or charger is damaged, take it to a service center
or your phone dealer before continuing to use it. Never use a damaged battery
or charger. Only use the charger indoors. Do not charge your device during a
lightning storm.
To unplug a charger or an accessory, hold and pull the plug, not the cord.
Additionally, the following applies if your device has a removable battery:
- Always switch the device off and unplug the charger before removing the battery.
- Accidental short-circuiting can happen when a metallic object touches the metal strips on the battery. This may damage the battery or the other object.
Small children
Your device and its accessories are not toys. They may contain small parts.
Keep them out of the reach of small children.
Medical devices
Operation of radio transmitting equipment, including wireless phones, may
interfere with inadequately shielded medical devices’ function. Consult a
physician or the medical device’s manufacturer to determine if it is
adequately shielded from external radio energy.
Implanted medical devices
To avoid potential interference, manufacturers of implanted medical devices
(such as cardiac pacemakers, insulin pumps, and neurostimulators) recommend a
minimum separation of 15.3 centimeters (6 inches) between a wireless device
and the medical device. Persons who have such devices should:
- Always keep the wireless device more than 15.3 centimeters (6 inches) from the medical device.
- Not carry the wireless device in a breast pocket.
- Hold the wireless device to the ear opposite the medical device.
- Switch the wireless device off if there is any reason to suspect that interference is taking place.
- Follow the manufacturer directions for the implanted medical device.
If you have any questions about using your wireless device with an implanted
medical device, consult your health care provider.
Hearing
Warning: When you use the headset, your ability to hear outside sounds
may be affected. Do not use the headset where it can endanger your safety.
Some wireless devices may interfere with some hearing aids.
Vehicles
Radio signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded
electronic systems in vehicles. For more info, check with the manufacturer of
your vehicle or its equipment.
Only authorized personnel should install the device in a vehicle. Faulty
installation may be dangerous and invalidate your warranty. Check regularly
that all wireless device equipment in your vehicle is mounted and operating
properly. Do not store or carry flammable or explosive materials in the same
compartment as the device, its parts, or accessories. Do not place your device
or accessories in the air bag deployment area.
Potentially explosive environments
Switch your device off in potentially explosive environments, such as near gas
stations. Sparks may cause an explosion or fire resulting in injury or death.
Note restrictions in areas with fuel; chemical plants; or where blasting
operations are in progress. Areas with a potentially explosive environment may
not be clearly marked. These usually are areas where you are advised to switch
your engine off, below deck on boats, chemical transfer or storage facilities,
and where the air contains chemicals or particles. Check with the
manufacturers of vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or
butane) if this device can be safely used in their vicinity.

1. General
HMD Global Oy (hereinafter “Manufacturer”) provides this Manufacturer’s
Limited Warranty (“Warranty”) for each genuine device (the “Product”) and
related Accessories (as defined in Section
2) included with the Product sales package.
This Warranty is only applicable in the country or region (as defined in

available in a particular Covered Country or Region may be limited to the
Products and country-specific elements available for sale in that Covered
Country or Region.
This Warranty covers and includes any statutory rights under any mandatory
consumer protection laws of the Covered Country or Region applicable to you
and may also grant you additional rights where permissible under applicable
law. This Warranty does not limit the rights you may have under applicable law
and you may have other rights based on local laws during or after the Warranty
period. These rights are not excluded by this Warranty.
The Product and its Accessories must be used in accordance with the
instructions provided in the user guides and leaflets that come in the Product
package and are also available online. From time to time the Manufacturer may
offer additional warranty coverage that supplements the terms listed here. To

Products or Accessories, then such parts or Products or Accessories will not
be used until such consent has been obtained.
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law:
