136 Knowing Performance and Safety Guidelines
Note:
Never transport or store
flammable gas, liquid or
explosives in the
compartment of your
vehicle that contains your
phone or accessories.
Turn off your phone when you’re in any area that has a
potentially explosive atmosphere. Although it’s rare, your
phone or its accessories could generate sparks. Sparks could
cause an explosion or a fire resulting in bodily injury or
even death. These areas are often, but not always, clearly
marked. They include:
䊳 Fueling areas such as gas stations.
䊳 Below deck on boats.
䊳 Fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities.
䊳 Areas where the air contains chemicals or particles such
as grain, dust or metal powders.
䊳 Any other area where you would normally be advised to
turn off your vehicle’s engine.
Restricting Children’s Access to your Phone
Your phone is not a toy. Children should not be allowed to
play with it because they could hurt themselves and others,
damage the phone or make calls that increase your phone
bill.
Caring for the Battery
Protecting your Battery
The guidelines listed below help you get the most out of

(0º C to 40º C).
䊳 Don’t use the battery charger in direct sunlight or in
high humidity areas, such as the bathroom.
䊳 Never dispose of the battery by incineration.
䊳 Keep the metal contacts on top of the battery clean.
䊳 Don’t attempt to disassemble or short-circuit the battery.
䊳 The battery may need recharging if it has not been used
for a long period of time.
