98 Knowing Performance and Safety Guidelines
Restricting Children’s Access to Your Phone
Your Sprint PCS Phone is not a toy. Children should not be allowed to play with it
because they could hurt themselves and others, damage the phone or make calls that
increase your phone bill.
Caring for the Battery
Protecting Your Battery
The guidelines listed below help you get the most out of your battery’s performance.
÷
Use only Sprint PCS-approved batteries and chargers. These chargers are
designed to maximize battery life. Using other batteries or chargers voids your
warranty and may cause damage.
÷
In order to avoid damage, charge the battery only in temperatures that range
from 41º F to 113º F (5º C to 45º C).
÷
Don’t use the battery charger in direct sunlight or in high humidity areas, such
as the bathroom.
÷
Never dispose of the battery by incineration.
÷
Keep the metal contacts on top of the battery clean.
÷
Don’t attempt to disassemble or short-circuit the battery.
÷
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.
÷
Don’t store the battery in high temperature areas for long periods of time. It’s
best to follow these storage rules:
Less than one month: 4º F to 140º F (-20º C to 60º C)
More than one month: 4º F to 113º F (-20º C to 45º C)
Disposal of Lithium Ion (LiIon) Batteries
For safe disposal options of your LiIon batteries, contact your nearest Sprint PCS-
authorized service center.
Special note: Be sure to dispose of your battery properly. In some areas, the
disposal of batteries in household or business trash may be prohibited.
Note: For safety, do not handle a damaged or leaking LiIon battery.
