1.2 Precaution before using battery
- Do not leave battery unused for long time, no matter it is in device or inventory. If battery has been used for 6 months already, it should be check for charging function or it should be disposed correctly.
- The lifespan of Li-ion battery is around 2 to 3 years, it can be circularly charged for 300 to 500 times. (One full battery charge period means completely charged and completely discharged.)
- When Li-ion battery is not in used, it will continue discharge slowly. Therefore, battery charging status should be checked frequently and take reference of the related battery charging information on the manuals.
- Observe and record the information of a new unused and non-fully charged battery. On the basis of operating time of new battery and compare with a battery that has been used for long time. According to product configuration and application program, the operating time of battery would be different.
- Check battery charging status at regular intervals.
- When battery operating time drops below about 80%, charging time will be increased remarkably.
- If a battery is stored or otherwise unused for an extended period, be sure to follow the storage instructions in this document. If you do not follow the instructions, and the battery has no charge remaining when you check it, consider it to be damaged. Do not attempt to recharge it or to use it. Replace it with a new battery.

SAR Information
The SAR limit of Europe is 2.0 W/kg. Device types C5has also been tested against this SAR limit. The highest SAR value reported under this standard during product certification for use at the ear is 0.219W/kg and when properly worn on the body is 1.216 W/kg. This device was tested for typical body-worn operations with the back of the handset kept 0.5cm from the body. To maintain compliance with RF exposure requirements, use accessories that maintain a 0.5cm separation distance between the user’s body and the back of the handset. The use of belt clips, holsters and similar accessories should not contain metallic components in its assembly. The use of accessories that do not satisfy these requirements may not comply with RF exposure requirements, and should be avoided.
