Recycling Your Battery
Your phone manufacturer is a member of the Rechargeable Battery
Recycling Corporation (RBRC), a non-profit service organization
designed to assist in the recycling of rechargeable batteries. Many
areas require the recycling of rechargeable 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
Battery use and care varies slightly depending upon which type of
battery your phone is equipped with: Nickel Metal Hydride
(NiMH) or Lithium Ion (LiIon).
Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) Batteries
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 before using your phone. Avoid recharging a
fully-charged or almost fully-charged battery. If your phone shuts off
due to low battery power, you should charge the battery within 24
hours for the battery to reach full capacity.
• Do not leave your battery where it may be subjected to extremely
hot or cold temperatures. This could reduce the battery's capacity.
• Do not let the metal contacts on the battery touch another metal
object such as keys in your pocket. 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 bat-
tery to explode.
• Turn your phone OFF before removing the battery.
