● 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.
● Only use the battery with a qualified
charger. Use of an unqualified battery
charger may present a risk of fire,
explosion, leakage, or other hazard. If
you are unsure about whether a
charger is qualified, contact customer
support.
● 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.
● It's best to replace the battery when it
no longer provides acceptable
performance. It can be recharged
hundreds of times before it needs
replacing.
● Replace the battery only with another
qualified battery. Use of an unqualified
battery may present a risk of fire,
explosion, leakage, or other hazard. If
you are unsure about whether a
replacement battery is compatible,
contact customer support.
Storing
Don't store the battery in high temperature
areas for long periods of time. It's best to
follow these storage rules:
