Product Usage Instructions

Safety Information

Please read this manual carefully before using your phone for the first time to ensure proper use. It is important to followthese safety instructions and precautions:

• Please do not recharge your phone more than 24 hours at a time.
• Please place the battery in a cool, ventilated place protected from sunlight.
• The battery life of the phone is limited. Frequent charging gradually reduces battery life. If the battery life is greatly reduced, the battery should be replaced.

General Points

• Set up an individual PIN code for your SIM card.
• Do not leave your mobile phone in plain view in your car; store it in a hidden place or carry it with you.
• Never use the phone in an airplane or hospital. This could adversely affect both the aircraft‘s navigation system and medical instruments. In many airplanes and hospitals the use of mobile phones is therefore prohibited.
• Your phone may cause problems with hearing aids, pacemakers and other electronic medical devices. Please contact your doctor or the manufacturer of medical devices for further information.
• Pay attention to traffic safety. Be careful when driving a vehicle. Only use a hands-free car kit to make calls while driving. If you do not have this, interrupt the journey before using the telephone. Please consider applicable laws and regulations.
• Pay attention to environmental safety. Never use the phone at a gas station, oil storage facility, chemical plant or near flammable or explosive objects. Consider all applicable laws, regulations and hazard symbols.
• Place the phone, battery and charger in a place that is not accessible to children.
• Use the original battery and charger and charge the battery correctly. Charging the battery not with the original charger may result in loss of the protective circuit function within the battery. In addition, chemical reactions may occur, the battery may leak, heat up, smoke may occur and the battery may ignite.
• Do not place the battery in a microwave, oven or other pressure vessel. The resulting damage to the structure can lead to heating, smoke and inflammation of the battery. If a leak is found on the battery (or if a strange smell is perceived), the battery should be kept away from fire, as otherwise the leaked electrolyte can catch fire or cause other dangers.
• Do not use the device in places where flammable and explosive gas can escape, as this may cause a fire or breakdown.
• Do not store the phone in a place with a temperature of below -25°C and above 55°C. Too high a temperature could damage, bend or melt the phone. If the temperature is too low, humidity can be generated inside the battery, which can damage the circuit board if the battery is then brought to a place with normal temperature.

Precautions when using the mobile phone

• Insert a valid SIM card provided by the network operator to establish a network connection.

• » Do not modify the phone on your own, as this may cause damage to the phone, leaks and circuit failures.

  » In rare cases or selected vehicle models, the mobile phone can have a bad influence on the vehicle‘s electronic equipment. Please do not use a mobile phone to avoid security risks. If your vehicle is equipped with an airbag, please do not place a mobile phone on it. Serious injuries may occur if the airbag opens.
