Getting The Best From Your Battery - Pantech A100 User Manual

Tip
Your phone is powered by a Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) battery. This means that,
unlike other forms of battery technology, you can recharge your battery
while some charge remains without reducing your phone's autonomy due
to the "battery memory effect" inherent in those technologies.

Getting the best from your battery

•
Do not use a damaged battery or charger.
•
Use your battery for the specified purpose only.
•
The closer you are to your network's base station, the longer your
phone usage time because less battery power is consumed for the
connection.
•
The battery recharging time varies depending on the remaining battery
capacity and the battery and charger type you use.
•
Battery life inevitably shortens over time.
•
Use an authorized battery and charger only.
•
Since overcharging may shorten battery life, remove the battery from
its charger once it is fully charged. Unplug the charger, once charging
is complete. Leaving the battery in hot or cold places, especially inside
a car in summer or winter, may reduce the capacity and life of the
battery. Always keep the battery within normal temperatures.
•
Do not bring your battery into contact with conductive objects ("earth".)
Similarly, do not bring your phone into contact with conductive objects
as this may also damage your battery.
•
Dispose of and recycle used batteries in accordance with local
regulations. Do not dispose of batteries by burning; they may explode.
•
Do not use an unauthorized charger.
•
To prevent injury or burns, ensure that no metal objects come into
contact with the + and – terminals of the battery.
