Do not disassemble, crush, puncture, shred, or
otherwise attempt to change the form of your
battery. Do not put a high degree of pressure on
the battery. This can cause leakage or an internal
short-circuit, resulting in over-heating.
Do not let the phone or battery come in contact
with liquids. Liquids can get into the phone’s
circuits, leading to corrosion. Even when the phone
appears to be dry and appears to operate normally,
the circuitry could slowly corrode and pose a safety
hazard. If the phone and/or battery get wet, have
them checked by your service provider or contact,
even if they appear to be working properly.
Do not place your battery in or near a heat source.
Excessive heating can damage the phone or the
battery and could cause the phone or the battery
to explode. Do not dry a wet or damp battery with
an appliance or heat source such as a microwave
oven, hair dryer, iron, or radiator. Avoid leaving
your phone in your car in high temperatures.
Do not dispose of the phone or the battery in a fire.
The phone or the battery may explode when
overheated.
Do not handle a damaged or leaking battery. Do not
let leaking battery fluid come in contact with your
eyes, skin or clothing.
Avoid dropping the cell phone. Dropping the phone
or the battery, especially on a hard surface, can
potentially cause damage to the phone and battery.
If you suspect damage to the phone or battery, take
it to a service center for inspection.
Never use any charger or battery that is damaged
in any way.
Do not allow the battery to touch metal objects.
Accidental short-circuiting can occur when a
metallic object (coin, key, jewellery, clip, or pen)
causes a direct connection between the + and -
terminals of the battery (metal strips on the
battery), for example when you carry a spare
battery in a pocket or bag. Short-circuiting the
