] Keep the battery’s metal contacts clean.
] Replace the battery when it no longer
provides acceptable performance. The
battery can be recharged several hundred
times before replacement.
] Recharge the battery after long periods of
non-use to maximize battery life.
] Battery life will vary due to usage patterns
and environmental conditions.
] Use of extended backlighting, MEdia Net
Browsing, and data connectivity kits affect
battery life and talk/standby times.
] The self-protection function of the battery
cuts the power of the phone when its
operation is in an abnormal state. In this
case, remove the battery from the phone,
reinstall it, and turn the phone on.
] Actual battery life will depend on network

patterns, battery and environmental
conditions.
Explosion, Shock, and Fire
Hazards
] Do not put your phone in a place subject
to excessive dust and keep the minimum
required distance between the power cord
and heat sources.
] Unplug the power cord prior to cleaning
your phone, and clean the power plug pin
when it is dirty.
] When using the power plug, ensure that
it is firmly connected. If it is not, it may
cause excessive heat or fire.
] If you put your phone in a pocket or bag
without covering the receptacle of the
phone (power plug pin), metallic articles
(such as a coin, paperclip or pen) may
short-circuit the phone. Always cover the
receptacle when not in use.
] Do not short-circuit the battery. Metallic
articles such as a coin, paperclip or pen in
your pocket or bag may short-circuit the +
and – terminals of the battery (metal strips
on the battery) upon moving. Short-circuit
of the terminal may damage the battery
and cause an explosion.
