Battery Information
Leaving Batteries in the Charger
Lithium Ion batteries are different from other batteries in
that you can leave them in the charger as long as you like.
Nickel Metal Hydride batteries should not be left in the
charger for more than 24 hours.
Battery Storage and Disposal
To prolong the life of your batteries, avoid exposing them to
temperatures below -10°C (14°F) or above 45°C (113°F).
As a good rule of thumb, always take your phone with you
when you leave your car.
To dispose of batteries, check with your local recycling center
for a battery recycler near you. Never dispose of batteries in fire.
Quick Change Power Source
The quick change feature lets you switch power sources
without losing the call in progress. If you hear a low battery
warning while you are in a call, just plug in the cigarette
lighter adapter.
Quick Change Battery Replacement
You can also remove your phone's battery and replace it with
a charged spare without losing the call in progress. If you
hear a low battery warning while you are in a call, quickly
switch batteries and resume your conversation.
Be aware that a quick change must be completed in three
seconds to avoid losing the call in progress. Just give your
party on the line a warning before beginning this procedure.
Caution:
To prevent injuries or burns, do not allow metal objects to
contact or short circuit the battery terminals (see page 9).
Tip: To extend
battery life, do
not leave a Nickel
Metal Hydride
(NiMH) battery
in the charger
for more than
24 hours.
