Your phone is powered
by a rechargeable battery.
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 that 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.
- Leaving the battery
in hot or cold places, such as in a closed car in summer
or winter conditions, will reduce the capacity and lifetime of
the battery. Always
try to keep the battery between 15°C and 25°C (59°F and 77°F).
A phone with a hot or cold battery may temporarily not work, even
when the battery is fully charged.
- Battery performance
is particularly limited in temperatures well below freezing.
- Do not dispose of
batteries in a fire !
- Dispose of
batteries according to local regulations (e.g. recycling). Do
not dispose as household waste.
