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 period of time, should be conditioned before
using your phone. Avoid recharging a fully-charged or
almost fully-charged battery. This can result in the mem-
ory effect, which causes the battery to charge to less than
its full capacity. If your phone shuts off due to low bat-
tery power, you should charge the battery within 24
hours for the battery to reach full capacity.
Do not leave your battery where it may be sub-
‡
jected to extremely hot or cold temperatures. This
could reduce the battery's capacity.
Do not let the metal contacts on the battery touch
‡
another metal object such as keys in your pocket.
This could short-circuit and damage the battery.
Do not attempt to take a battery apart.
‡
Do not expose a battery to open flame. This could
‡
cause the battery to explode.
Turn your phone OFF before removing the battery.
‡
Use only the AC/DC adapter supplied with your
‡
battery charger. Using a different adapter could be
dangerous and will void your phone warranty.
Guidelines for Safe and Efficient Use
Never charge a battery when the ambient room
‡
temperature is below 50° F (10°C) or above 105°F
(40°C).
Do not allow the battery to be placed into the
‡
mouth. Battery electrolytes may be toxic if swal-
lowed.
Conditioning Your Battery
To condition your battery, do the following:
Charge the battery until it is fully charged.
Ã
Disconnect the charger and leave your phone ON
!Ã
until the battery is completely discharged.
The indicator light on your phone will flash red, and a
beep will sound warning you that your battery is almost
discharged. Wait until your phone turns OFF. Your bat-
tery is now completely discharged.
Note!
The time required to discharge a battery varies based on
the type of battery and the number and duration of
your calls.
Completely discharge the battery and fully charge it,
"Ã
three times in succession to, complete the battery con-
ditioning procedure.
