• Avoid dropping the device or battery. If you drop the device or its
battery, especially on a hard surface, and suspect damage, take it to a
service center for inspection.
• A new battery, or one that has not been used for a long period of time
could have reduced capacity the first few times it is being used.
• Do not expose your battery to extreme temperatures, never above +140
degrees F (+60 degrees C). For maximum battery capacity use your
battery at room temperature. If the battery is used in cold temperatures
the battery capacity will be reduced.
• The battery can only be charged when the temperature is between
41degrees F (+5 degrees C) and +113 degrees F (+45 degrees C).
• Never place batteries or devices on or in heating devices, such as micro-
wave ovens, stoves, or radiators. Batteries may explode when over-
heated.
• Turn off your device before removing the battery.
• Do not expose a battery to open flames. This could cause the battery to
explode.
• Do not use the battery pack if it shows signs of rust overheating, leakage
or changes in color or shape.
• Do not allow the battery to be placed into the mouth. Battery electro-
lytes may be toxic if swallowed.
• Avoid charging batteries for more than a week, as overcharging may
shorten battery life.
