16 - Getting Started
• New batteries or batteries that have been stored for a long
time may require a longer charge time.
• Maintain the battery at or near room temperature when
charging.
• Do not expose batteries to temperatures below -10°C (14°F)
or above 45°C (113°F). Always take your phone with you
when you leave your vehicle.
• When you do not intend to use a battery for a while, store it
uncharged in a cool, dark, dry place, such as a refrigerator.
• Batteries gradually wear down and require longer charging
times. This is normal. If you charge your battery regularly and
notice a decrease in talk time or an increase in charging time,
then it is probably time to purchase a new battery.
The rechargeable batteries that power this phone must be
disposed of properly and may need to be recycled. Refer to
your battery’s label for battery type. Contact your local
recycling centre for proper disposal methods.
Warning: Never dispose of batteries in a fire because they may
explode.
