Caring for the Battery

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. Sprint is not aware
of similar problems with Sprint PCS
use of batteries and accessories approved by Sprint or the manufacturer of
your phone. Use only Sprint or manufacturer-approved batteries and
accessories found at Sprint Stores or through your device's manufacturer, or
call 1-866-343-1114 to order. They're also available at
the Wireless link under Personal, and then click Accessories under Shop the PCS
Store Online. Buying the right batteries and accessories is the best way to
ensure they're genuine and safe.
In order to avoid damage, charge the battery only in temperatures that range
from 32° F to 113° F (0° C to 45° C).
Don't use the battery charger in direct sunlight or in high humidity areas,
such as the bathroom.
Never dispose of the battery by incineration.
Keep the metal contacts on top of the battery clean.
Don't attempt to disassemble or short-circuit the battery.
The battery may need recharging if it has not been used for a long period of
time.
