to the floor, it may be internally damaged and must be scrapped.
Ensure all surfaces, fixtures, and phone components contacting the Battery are smooth and clean.
• Ensure Battery and its insulation are not damaged (e.g. scratched, dented, punctured) prior to and throughout
assembly.
• Prior to assembly, ensure Battery edges and surfaces are not dented or deformed, and that fixtures and parts that
will contact the Battery are free of foreign material.
• Ensure screws and screwdrivers do not contact the Battery.
• Failure to adhere to Safety Critical Note(s) may increase risk of rupture, burning, or failure to function safely when
used by the customer.
