Precaution before using battery
- Do not leave the battery unused for a long time, no matter it is in the device or inventory. If the battery has been used for 6 months already, it should be checked for charging function or it should be disposed of correctly.
- The lifespan of a Li-ion battery is around 2 to 3 years, it can be circularly charged for 300 to 500 times. (One full battery charge period means completely charged and completely discharged.)
- When a Li-ion battery is not in use, it will continue to discharge slowly. Therefore, battery charging status should be checked frequently and take reference of related battery charging information on the manuals.
- Observe and record the information of a new unused and non-fully charged battery. On the basis of the operating time of a new battery and compare with a battery that has been used for a long time. According to the product configuration and application program, the operating time of the battery would be different.
- Check battery charging status at regular intervals.
- When battery operating time drops below about 80%, charging time will be increased remarkably.
- If a battery is stored or otherwise unused for an extended period, be sure to follow the storage instructions in this document. If you do not follow the instructions, and the battery has no charge remaining when you check it, consider it to be damaged. Do not attempt to recharge it or to use it. Replace it with a new battery.
- Store the battery at temperatures between 5 °C and 20 °C (41 °F and 68 °F).
Charger
The charger type is DBS15Q, output voltage/current is 5V DC/3A/9V DC/2A/12V DC/1.5A. The plug is considered as a disconnect device of the adapter.

Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) information
This wireless phone meets the government’s requirements for exposure to radio waves. The guidelines are based on standards that were developed by independent scientific organizations through periodic and thorough evaluations of scientific studies. The standards include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons regardless of age or health.
The highest SAR value reported under this standard during product certification for use at the ear is 0.31W/kg and when properly worn on the body is 1.14W/kg. This device was tested for typical body-worn operations with the back of the handset kept1.0cm from the body. To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure requirements, use accessories that maintain a 1.0cmseparation distance between the user’s body and the back of the handset. The use of belt clips, holsters and similar accessories should not contain metallic components in its assembly. The use of accessories that do not satisfy these requirements may not comply with FCC RF exposure requirements and should be avoided.
Body-worn Operation
This device was tested for typical body-worn operations. To comply with RF exposure requirements, a minimum separation distance of 1.0 cm must be maintained between the user’s body and the handset, including the antenna. Third-party belt clips, holsters, and similar accessories used by this device should not contain any metallic components. Body-worn accessories that do not meet these requirements may not comply with RF exposure requirements and should be avoided. Use only the supplied or an approved antenna.



Caution: Please scan codes in the correct way otherwise the scanning will be failed.
