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
centre 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.
