Caring for the Battery
Protecting your Battery
The guidelines listed below help you get the most out of
your battery’s performance.

Use only Sprint PCS-approved batteries and desktop
chargers. These chargers are designed to maximize
battery life. Using other batteries or chargers voids your
warranty and may cause damage.

In order to avoid damage, charge the battery only in
temperatures that range from 32º F to 113º F
(0º C to 45º C).

Don’t use the battery charger in direct sunlight or in
high humidity areas, such as the bathroom.
䊳
Never dispose of the battery by incineration.

Keep the metal contacts on top of the battery clean.
䊳
Don’t attempt to disassemble or short-circuit the battery.
䊳
The battery may need recharging if it has not been used
for a long period of time.

It’s best to replace the battery when it no longer provides
acceptable performance. It can be recharged hundreds
of times before it needs replacing.

long periods of time. It’s best to follow these storage
rules:
