Caring for the Battery

Protecting Your Battery

The guidelines listed below help you get the most out of your
battery's performance.
●
Recently there have been some public reports of wireless
phone batteries overheating, catching fire, or exploding. It
appears that many, if not all, of these reports involve
counterfeit or inexpensive, aftermarket-brand batteries with
unknown or questionable manufacturing standards. Use only
manufacturer-approved batteries and accessories. Buying the
right batteries and accessories is the best way to ensure
they're genuine and safe.
●
Do not disassemble or open, crush, bend or deform, or
puncture or shred the battery.
●
Do not modify or remanufacture, attempt to insert foreign
objects into the battery, immerse or expose to water or other
liquids, expose to fire, explosion, or other hazard.
●
Avoid dropping the phone or battery. If the phone or battery is
dropped, especially on a hard surface, and the user suspects
damage, take it to a service center for inspection.
●
Improper battery use may result in a fire, explosion or other
hazard.
●
Do not short-circuit a battery or allow metallic conductive
objects to contact battery terminals.
●
Keep the metal contacts on top of the battery clean.
●
Battery usage by children should be supervised.
Charging
●
In order to avoid damage, charge the battery only in
temperatures that range from 32° F to 113° F (0° C to 45° C).
●
Don't use the battery charger in direct sunlight or in high
humidity areas, such as the bathroom.
●
The battery may need recharging if it has not been used for a
long period of time.
