Take care of your device
Handle your device, battery, charger and accessories with care. The following suggestions help you keep your device operational. · Keep the device dry. Precipitation, humidity, and all types of liquids or moisture
can contain minerals that corrode electronic circuits. · Do not store the device in dusty or dirty areas. · Do not store the device in high temperatures. High temperatures may damage
the device or battery. · Do not store the device in cold temperatures. When the device warms to its
normal temperature, moisture can form inside the device and damage it. · Do not open the device. · Unauthorized modifications may damage the device and violate regulations
governing radio devices. · Do not drop, knock, or shake the device or the battery. Rough handling can
break it. · Only use a soft, clean, dry cloth to clean the surface of the device. · Do not paint the device. Paint can prevent proper operation. · Keep the device away from magnets or magnetic fields.
Recyle
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. Remember to remove personal data from the device first. 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, or read about HMD's take-

Battery and charger info
Do not attempt to remove the battery, 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.

Medical devices
Operation of radio transmitting equipment 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.

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. 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
