When a charger is not in use, disconnect it from the power source. Do not leave the
battery connected to a charger for more than a week, since overcharging may shorten its
life.
Extreme temperatures will affect the charging capacity of your battery : it may require
cooling or warming first.
Do not leave the battery in hot or cold places, such as in a car in summer or winter
conditions, as you will reduce the capacity and life-time of the battery. Always try to keep
the battery at room temperature. A phone with a hot or cold battery may temporarily not
work, even when the battery is fully charged. Li-ion batteries are particularly affected by
temperatures below 0 C (32 F).
Accidental short circuiting can occur when a metallic object (coin, clip or pen)causes a
direct connection between the + and - terminals of the battery (metal strips on the back of
the battery), for example when you carry a spare battery in a pocket or bag. Short-
circuiting the terminals may damage the battery or the object causing the short-circuit.
Dispose of used batteries in accordance with local regulations. Always recycle. Do not
dispose of batteries in a fire.
The battery provided with the phone is a Lithium slim battery.
Precautions When Using Batteries
Never use any charger or battery that is damaged in any way.
Use the battery only for its intended purpose.
If you use the phone near the network base station, it uses less power ; talk and standby
times are greatly affected by the signal strength on the cellular network and the
parameters set by the network operator.
Battery charging times depend on the remaining battery charge, the type of battery, and
charger used. The battery can be charged and discharged hundreds of times, but it will
gradually wear out. When the operation time (talk time and standby time) is noticeably
shorter than normal, it is time to buy a new battery.
If left unused, a fully charged battery will discharge itself over time.
Use only approved batteries and recharge your battery only with approved chargers.
