Notes for Using the Batteries

Note that a new NiMH battery's full performance is achieved only af-
•
ter two or three complete charge and discharge cycles!
Never use any charger or battery which is damaged or worn out.
•
Using the phone near the network's base station consumes less power.
•
The operation times of a battery are greatly affected e.g. by the signal
strength of the cellular network and the parameters set by the net-
work operator.
Battery charging times depend on the remaining battery charge and
•
the type of battery and charger used. The battery can be charged and
discharged hundreds of times but it will eventually wear out. When
the operating time (talk-time and standby time) is noticeably shorter
than normal, it is time to buy a new battery.
Use only batteries approved by the phone manufacturer and recharge
•
your battery only with the chargers approved by the manufacturer.
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 shorten its life. If left unused, a fully charge
battery will discharge itself over time.
Use the battery only for its intended purpose.
•
For good operation times when using an NiMH battery, discharge the
•
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.
Temperature extremes will affect the ability of your battery to charge:
•
allow it to cool down or warm up first.
Do not short circuit the battery. Accidental short circuiting can occur
•
when a metallic object (coin, clip or pen) causes direct connection of
the + and - terminals of the battery (metal strips on the back of the
battery) for example when you carry a spare battery in your pocket or
purse. Short circuiting the terminals may damage the battery or the
connecting object.
