Battery information
This product uses a Lithium-ion 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 temperature location, in strong direct sunlight, in a microwave
oven or in a pressurized container, and do not expose it to temperatures 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 disassemble the battery. If the battery leaks and you come into contact
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 battery 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 manufacturer approved
batteries, and recharge your battery only with manufacturer 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 connected to the AC charger, 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 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 battery 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. Batteries 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
Your smartphone uses a lithium battery. 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.
