10. Battery information

■ Charging and Discharging

Your phone is powered by a rechargeable battery.
Note that a new battery's full performance is achieved only after two or three
complete charge and discharge cycles!
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. Unplug the charger when
not in use. Do not leave the battery connected to a charger for longer than a week,
since overcharging may shorten its lifetime. If left unused a fully charged battery
will discharge itself over time.
Temperature extremes can affect the ability of your battery to charge.
Use the battery only for its intended purpose.
Never use any charger or battery which is damaged.
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 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.
