16 Important Safety Information
Protecting Your Battery
The guidelines listed below help you get the most out
of your battery’s performance.
Ɣ 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.
Ɣ Do not disassemble or open, crush, bend or
deform, or puncture or shred the battery.
Ɣ 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.
Ɣ 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.
Ɣ Improper battery use may result in a fire,
explosion or other hazard.
Ɣ Do not short-circuit a battery or allow metallic
conductive objects to contact battery terminals.
Ɣ Keep the metal contacts on top of the battery
clean.
Ɣ Battery usage by children should be supervised.
Charging
Ɣ In order to avoid damage, charge the battery only
in temperatures that range from 32° F to 113° F
(0° C to 45° C).
Ɣ Don’t use the battery charger in direct sunlight or
in high humidity areas, such as the bathroom.
Ɣ The battery may need recharging if it has not been
used for a long period of time.
Ɣ 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.
Storing
Ɣ Don’t store the battery in high temperature areas
for long periods of time. It’s best to follow these
storage rules:
ƒ Less than one month:
-4° F to 140° F (-20° C to 60° C)
ƒ More than one month:
-4° F to 113° F (-20° C to 45° C)
