Guidelines for Safe and Efficient Use
Outside the U.S., contact your local retailer for recycling
instructions.
Battery Use and Care
A rechargeable battery has a long service life if treated
properly. A new battery, or one that has not been used
for a long period of time, should be conditioned before
using your phone. Avoid recharging a fully-charged or
almost fully-charged battery. If your phone shuts off due
to low battery power, you should charge the battery
within 24 hours for the battery to reach full capacity.
Do not leave your battery where it may be sub-
jected to extremely hot or cold temperatures. This
could reduce the battery’s capacity.
Do not let the metal contacts on the battery touch
another metal object such as keys in your pocket.
This could short-circuit and damage the battery.
Do not attempt to take a battery apart.
Do not expose a battery to open flame. This could
cause the battery to explode.
Turn your phone OFF before removing the battery.
Use only the AC/DC adapter supplied with your
battery charger. Using a different adapter could be
dangerous and will void your phone warranty.
Never charge a battery when the ambient room
temperature is below 50° F (10°C) or above 105°F
(40°C).
Do not allow the battery to be placed into the
mouth. Battery electrolytes may be toxic if swal-
lowed.
