Important Safety Information
New Batteries
The battery packaged with your phone is
not fully charged. To get maximum battery
capacity, you can use a multicharger to
condition the battery. To condition the battery,
you first charge it, and then you fully discharge
it, three times in succession. See Conditioning
a Battery on page 3.
Recycling Your Battery
Your phone manufacturer is a member of the
Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation
(RBRC), a non-profit public service organization
designed to assist in the recycling of
rechargeable NiCd batteries. Many areas
require the recycling of these types of batteries.
In the U.S., call 1-800-822-8837 to find out how
to recycle your battery. Outside the U.S.,
contact your local retailer for recycling
instructions.
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, as described above,
before using your phone. If a multicharger was
packaged with your phone, the multicharger
has a battery conditioning function.
Avoid recharging a fully-charged or almost
fully-charged battery. This can result in the
memory effect, which causes the battery to
charge to less than its full capacity. If your
phone shuts off due to low battery power,
charge the battery within 24 hours for the
battery to reach full capacity.

Battery Information
Do not leave your battery where it could be
subjected to extremely hot or cold
temperatures. This could reduce the battery's
capacity.
Never let the metal contacts on the battery
touch another metal object. 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.
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
swallowed.
Battery Life/Scanning
When your phone cannot locate your home calling
area or anther acceptable coverage provider, it
will display Scanning. This means the phone is
continuously searching for a channel to provide
service. You need to be aware that scanning uses
more battery life than normal operation of your
phone. Your phone's battery life will be depleted
more quickly than normal if your phone
frequently performs the scanning function.
