• When a charger is not in use, disconnect
it from the power source. Do not leave the
battery connected to a charger for longer
than a week, since overcharging may

NiMH battery from time to time by
leaving your phone switched on until it
turns itself off. Do not attempt to
discharge the battery by any other means.

or purse. Short-circuiting the terminals
may damage the battery or the
connecting object.
