With the slightest sign of a cardiac pace-
maker malfunction, switch the BMW porta-
ble phone off immediately.<
Batteries
To avoid possible short circuits, after
removing a battery you should never
allow it to come into contact with metallic
surfaces of any kind. This is why you should
handle charged batteries with care, in par-
ticular if you place batteries, e.g. in jacket
or shirt pockets that contain metal objects.
If you are in an environment where there is
a risk of explosion, do not remove the bat-
tery from the device, as otherwise sparks
from your battery could cause explosions
or fire.<
Disposing of used batteries
Return used batteries to a recycling
collection point or to your BMW cen-
ter.<
