Battery information
This product uses a Lithium Polymer battery. Do not use it in a
humid, wet and/or corrosive environment. Do not put, store or
leave your product in or near a heat source, in a high tempera-
ture location, in strong direct sunlight, in a microwave oven or
in a pressurized container, and do not expose it to tempera-
tures over 60 °C (140 °F). Failure to follow these guidelines may
cause the battery to leak acid, become hot, explode or ignite
and cause injury and/or damage. Do not pierce, open or disas-
semble the battery. If the battery leaks and you come into con-
tact with the leaked fluids, rinse thoroughly with water and
seek medical attention immediately. For safety reasons, and to
prolong the lifetime of the battery, charging will not occur at
low (below 0 °C/32 °F) or high (over 40 °C/104 °F) temperatures.
The full performance of a new battery is achieved only after
two or three complete charge and discharge cycles. The bat-
tery can be charged and discharged hundreds of times, but it
will eventually wear out. When the talk and standby times are
noticeably shorter than normal, buy a new battery. Use only
Acer approved batteries, and recharge your battery only with
Acer approved chargers designated for this device.
Unplug the charger from the electrical plug and the device
when not in use. Do not leave a fully charged battery con-
nected to the AC adapter, since overcharging may shorten its
lifetime. If left unused, a fully charged battery will lose its
charge over time. If the battery is completely discharged, it
Warnings and precautions
83
may take a few minutes before the charging indicator appears
on the display or before any calls can be made.
Use the battery only for its intended purpose. Never use any
charger or battery that is damaged.
Do not short-circuit the battery. Accidental short-circuiting can
occur when a metallic object such as a coin, clip, or pen causes
direct connection of the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals
of the battery. (These look like metal strips on the battery.)
This might happen, for example, when you carry a spare bat-
tery in your pocket or purse. Short-circuiting the terminals may
damage the battery or the connecting object.
Leaving the battery in hot or cold places, such as in a closed car
in summer or winter conditions, will reduce the capacity and
lifetime of the battery. Always try to keep the battery between
15 °C and 25 °C (59 °F and 77 °F). A device with a hot or cold
battery may not work temporarily, even when the battery is
fully charged. Battery performance is particularly limited in
temperatures well below freezing.
Do not dispose of batteries in a fire as they may explode. Bat-
teries may also explode if damaged. Dispose of batteries
according to local regulations. Please recycle when possible.
Do not dispose as household waste.
Replacing the battery pack
Your smartphone uses lithium batteries. Replace the battery
with the same type as that which came bundled with your
product. Use of another battery may present a risk of fire or
explosion.
CAUTION! Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect
type. Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions.
84
Additional safety information

ting devices when using your smartphone device under the follow-
ing conditions. These devices may include, but are not limited to:
wireless LAN (WLAN), Bluetooth and/or 3G.
Remember to follow any special regulations in force in any
area, and always switch off your device when its use is prohib-
ited or when it may cause interference or danger. Use the
device only in its normal operating positions. This device meets
RF exposure guidelines when used normally, and it and its
antenna are positioned at least 1.5 cm (5/8") away from your
body. Do not cover the antenna with metal and you should
position the device at the above-stated distance from your
body. To successfully transmit data files or messages, this
device requires a good quality connection to the network. In
some cases, transmission of data files or messages may be
delayed until such a connection is available. Ensure that the
above separation distance instructions are followed until the
transmission is completed. Parts of the device are magnetic.
Metallic materials may be attracted to the device, and persons
with hearing aids should not hold the device to the ear with
the hearing aid. Do not place credit cards or other magnetic
storage media near the device, because information stored on
them may be erased.
Warnings and precautions
85
Medical devices
Operation of any radio transmitting equipment, including
wireless phones, may interfere with the functionality of inade-
quately protected medical devices. Consult a physician or the
manufacturer of the medical device to determine if they are
adequately shielded from external RF energy or if you have
any questions. Switch off your device in health care facilities
when any regulations posted in these areas instruct you to do
so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be using equipment
that could be sensitive to external RF transmissions.
Pacemakers. Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a min-
imum separation of 15.3 cm (6") be maintained between wire-
less devices and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference
with the pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent
with the independent research by and recommendations of
Wireless Technology Research. Persons with pacemakers
should do the following:
•
Always keep the device more than 15.3 cm (6") from
the pacemaker.
•
Not carry the device near your pacemaker when the
device is switched on. If you suspect interference,
switch off your device, and move it.
Hearing aids. Some digital wireless devices may interfere with
some hearing aids. If interference occurs, consult your service
provider.
Vehicles
RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately
shielded electronic systems in motor vehicles such as electronic
fuel injection systems, electronic antiskid (antilock) braking
systems, electronic speed control systems, and air bag systems.
For more information, check with the manufacturer, or its rep-
resentative, of your vehicle or any equipment that has been
86
added. Only qualified personnel should service the device, or
install the device in a vehicle. Faulty installation or service may
be dangerous and may invalidate any warranty that may apply
to the device. Check regularly that all wireless equipment in
your vehicle is mounted and operating properly. Do not store
or carry flammable liquids, gases, or explosive materials in the
same compartment as the device, its parts, or enhancements.
For vehicles equipped with an air bag, remember that air bags
inflate with great force. Do not place objects, including
installed or portable wireless equipment in the area over the
air bag or in the air bag deployment area. If in-vehicle wireless
equipment is improperly installed, and the air bag inflates,
serious injury could result. Using your device while flying in air-
craft is prohibited. Switch off your device before boarding an
aircraft. The use of wireless teledevices in an aircraft may be
dangerous to the operation of the aircraft, disrupt the wireless
telephone network, and may be illegal.
Potentially explosive environments
Switch off your device when in any area with a potentially
explosive atmosphere and obey all signs and instructions.
Potentially explosive atmospheres include areas where you
would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine.
Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting
in bodily injury or even death. Switch off the device at refuel-
ing points such as near gas pumps at service stations. Observe
restrictions on the use of radio equipment in fuel depots, stor-
age, and distribution areas; chemical plants; or where blasting
operations are in progress. Areas with a potentially explosive
atmospheres are often, but not always, clearly marked. They
include below deck on boats, chemical transfer or storage
facilities, vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (such as pro-
pane or butane), and areas where the air contains chemicals or
particles such as grain, dust or metal powders.
Warnings and precautions
87
Follow any restrictions. Do not use the device where blasting is
in progress.

Certificate Information (SAR)
This device meets the EU requirements (1999/519/EU) on the
limitation of exposure of the general public to electromag-
netic fields by way of health protection.
The limits are part of extensive recommendations for the pro-
tection of the general public. These recommendations have
been developed and checked by independent scientific organi-
zations through regular and thorough evaluations of scientific
studies. To guarantee the safety of all persons, regardless of
age and health, the limits include a significant safety buffer.
Before radio devices can be put in circulation, their agreement
with European laws or limits must be confirmed; only then
may the CE symbol be applied.
The unit of measurement for the European Council's recom-
mended limit for mobile telephones is the "Specific Absorption
Rate" (SAR). This SAR limit is 2.0 W/kg, averaged over 10 g of
body tissue. It meets the requirements of the International
Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) and
was included in the European Standard EN 50360 for mobile
radio devices. The SAR regulation for mobile telephones is in
line with European Standard EN 62209-1.The maximum SAR
value is calculated at the highest output level in all frequency
bands of the mobile telephone. During use, the actual SAR
level is usually much lower than the maximum value, because
the mobile telephone works in different output levels. It only
transmits with as much output as is required to reach the net-
work. In general the following applies: The closer you are to a
94
base station, the lower the transmission output of your mobile
telephone. The tested SAR of this device is as follows:
