Electrical safety
Please read these precautions carefully to ensure you are using your Fairphone 4 5G safely.
The model name of your product is FP4.
Audio properties and hearing precautions
Your Fairphone has two built-in speakers. The earpiece speaker is positioned at
the top-center of the device, facing the front, and the loudspeaker is positioned at
the bottom of the device, facing down. The earpiece speaker is meant to be used near your
ear for certain functions like calling but can also play loud sound when the device is playing
multimedia. You can also listen to audio using a headset (connected via the USB C port or
Bluetooth). A headset is included in the box only in markets where this is compulsory.
Your Fairphone is capable of operating at high volumes. Prolonged headphone usage at
high volumes can lead to hearing damage. Turn on the audio and check the volume before
positioning it close to your ear. Aim to limit your exposure to the highest volume range. To
prevent possible hearing damage, do not listen at high volume levels for long periods.
Charging and battery
Charge your Fairphone with a USB type C cable and USB compatible charger – preferably one
that is compatible with QC 3.0 (9Vdc, 3A), or another applicable mobile phone power adapter
interoperability standard. Using damaged cables or chargers, or charging when moisture is
present, can cause electric shock.
Only charge your device using a data cable or charger that follows the IEC/EN 62684 standard,
like the one you can find on www.fairphone.com/accessories-fp4.
The use of incompatible accessories or spare parts may have serious consequences for your
Fairphone. Your battery is a lithium-ion battery. Do not use this battery at high temperatures
or expose it to excessive heat. Keep your Fairphone in a well-ventilated area when using
or charging it. Use your device within the temperature range of -10C to +55C. Keep your
Fairphone in a well-ventilated area when using or charging it. Do not charge the device when
the environment temperature is above +40C.
Sustained exposure to high or low temperatures may have an effect on your device operation.
If the device gets too warm, allow the device some time to cool down and avoid leaving your
phone in direct sunlight.
If you need to replace your battery, ensure that it is an original Fairphone battery. For
instructions on how to safely replace the battery, please check our Quick Start Guide. Please
dispose of used batteries responsibly at a suitable electronic waste collection facility, as they
contain materials which are hazardous to your health and the environment.
This symbol indicates a separate collection for batteries. Please consult with your
municipality website should you need further clarification on the separate waste
recycling programme.
CAUTION
RISK OF EXPLOSION IF BATTERY IS REPLACED BY AN INCORRECT TYPE. DISPOSE OF USED
BATTERIES ACCORDING TO THE INSTRUCTIONS.
Fairphone only supports and takes responsibility for batteries conforming with the FP4 model
(Model Number: F4AC1). Batteries not manufactured by Fairphone are not supported and
may pose a risk to your device and to your health and safety. Usage of batteries which do not
comply with regional, national and international regulatory standards is strongly discouraged.
Fairphone replaceable parts
Your Fairphone is designed to be easy to open and to repair, but please read these instructions
carefully and use the replacement parts only as they were intended. Do not attempt to further
disassemble the replacement parts; they are meant to be used as you get them when you
order them. Keep your Fairphone replacement parts and other small parts away from children.
To ensure safe handling of your device, we advise you to consider the following points:
