Important safety and handling information
Plastic bag notice
Danger : Plastic bags can be dangerous. Keep plastic bags away from babies and children to avoid danger of suffocation.
Caution about high volume usage
Warning : Exposure to loud noise from any source for extended periods of time may affect your hearing. The louder the sound, the less time is required before your hearing could be affected. To protect your hearing:
- Limit the amount of time you use headsets or headphones at high volume.
- Avoid turning up the volume to block out noisy surroundings.
- Turn the volume down if you can’t hear people speaking near you.
If you experience hearing discomfort, including the sensation of pressure or fullness in your ears, ringing in your ears or muffled speech, you should stop listening to the device through your headset or headphones and have your hearing checked.
To prevent possible hearing damage, do not listen at high volume levels for long periods.
Safety instructions for parents and adult supervisors
Your mobile device is not a toy. As with all electrical products, precautions

Danger : Do not attempt to replace the internal rechargeable lithium ion
battery. Replacing the original battery with an incompatible type may result
in an increased risk of personal injury or property damage due to explosion,
excessive heat, or other risks. Do not attempt to disassemble or modify the

fluid leakage.
When disposing of the battery, comply with all relevant local ordinances or
