Explosion, Shock, and Fire Hazards

Do not put your phone in a place subject to
excessive dust and keep the minimum required

sources.

Unplug the power cord prior to cleaning your
phone, and clean the power plug pin when it's
dirty.

When using the power plug, ensure that it's
firmly connected. If not, it may cause excessive
heat or fire.

If you put your phone in a pocket or bag without
covering the receptacle of the phone (power

paperclip or pen) may short-circuit the phone.
Always cover the receptacle when not in use.

Don't short-circuit circuit the + and – terminals
of the battery (metal strips on the battery). Short-
circuit of the terminal may damage the battery
and cause an explosion.
