Do not destroy, impair, or throw the battery into flames – it is dangerous and may cause fire. A worn-out or impaired battery should be placed in a dedicated container. Excessive charging of the battery can cause damage. Therefore, a single battery charge should not last longer than 1 day. Installing an incorrect battery USB can cause an explosion. Never open the battery. Please dispose of the battery according to the instructions. Disconnect an unused charger from the power grid. In case of the charger wire damage, it should not be repaired but replaced with a new one. Use the original manufacturer’s accessories only.

The battery in this device can be charged with a charger. If the level of energy in the battery is low, recharge it. To prolong battery life, let it discharge beneath 20% of the battery capacity before connecting the phone charger and charging it up to 100%. If not used, unplug the charger from the phone. Excessive charging causes shortened battery life. The battery temperature affects the quality of charging. Before the charging process starts, lower or raise the temperature to be close to room temperature (approx. 20°C/68°F). If the battery temperature exceeds 40°C/104°F the battery must not be charged! If the battery overheats, the device will display an appropriate message. The battery lifespan can be shortened if it has been exposed to very low or very high temperatures – this causes interference to the phone, even when the battery has been properly charged. Use the battery only according to its intended purpose. Avoid leaving the battery within a magnetic field range, because it shortens its lifespan. Do not use a damaged battery. Do not throw the battery into flames! Do not throw away a worn-out battery – send it or return it to an authorized recycling point.

Tampering with its structure in an unprofessional manner may cause serious damage to the phone or destroy it completely. For cleaning, use only a dry cloth. Never use any agent with a high concentration of acids or alkalis. Use only original accessories because violation of this rule may result in invalidation of the warranty. Exposing the phone to extreme temperatures can reduce the level of protection. It is recommended that the phone not be used at temperatures below 0°C/32°F or higher than 40°C/104°F.
