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 time could have reduced
capacity the first few times it is used.
•
The talk and standby times depend on the actual
transmission conditions when using the phone. If the
phone is used near a base station less power is
required and talk and standby times are prolonged.
•
Use only Ericsson original standard battery (BSL-14)
and chargers (Travel Charger CTR-10 and Cigarette
Lighter Adapter CLA-11) together with your mobile
phone. Using other batteries and chargers could be
dangerous, and the warranty does not cover product
failures which have been caused by use of other
batteries and chargers.
•
Do not expose the battery to extreme temperatures,
never above +60°C (+140°F). For maximum battery
capacity use the battery in room temperature. If the
battery is used in low temperatures the battery
capacity will be reduced.
•
Turn off your phone before removing the battery.
•
Use the battery for the intended purpose only.
•
Do not attempt to take the battery apart.
•
Do not let the metal contacts on the battery touch
another metal object. This could short-circuit and
damage the battery.
•
Do not expose the battery to open flames. This could
cause the battery to explode.
•
Do not expose the battery to liquid.
•
Do not allow the battery to be put into the mouth.
Battery electrolytes may be toxic if swallowed.
Disposing of the Battery
The battery should never be placed in
municipal waste. Please check local
regulations for disposal of batteries.
