Protecting Your Battery
The guidelines listed below help you get the most out of
your battery’s performance.
Recently there have been some public reports of wireless
phone batteries overheating, catching fire, or exploding.
It appears that many, if not all, of these reports involve
counterfeit or inexpensive, aftermarket-brand batteries with
unknown or questionable manufacturing standards. Use only
manufacturer-approved batteries and accessories found at
Carrier Stores or through your device’s manufacturer. Buying
the right batteries and accessories is the best way to ensure
they are genuine and safe.
In order to avoid damage, charge the battery only in
•
temperatures that range from 32° F to 122° F (0° C to
50° C).
Don’t use the battery charger in direct sunlight or in high
•
humidity areas, such as the bathroom.
