• Temperature extremes affect the ability of your battery
to charge: it may require cooling or warming first.
• Do not short circuit the battery. Accidental short cir-
cuiting can occur when a metallic object (e.g. coin,
clip, or pen) causes direct connection of the + and -
terminals of the battery (metal strips on the back of
the battery), for example when you carry a spare bat-
tery in your pocket or purse. Short circuiting the termi-
nal may damage the battery or the connecting object.
• Use the battery only for its intended purpose.
• Never use any charger or battery that is damaged or
worn out.
• Leaving the battery in hot or cold places, such as in a
closed car in summer or winter conditions, reduces
the capacity and lifetime of the battery. Always try to
keep the battery between 59°F and 77°F (15°C and
25°C). A phone with a hot or cold battery may tempo-
rarily not work, even if the battery is fully charged.
NiMH battery performance is particularly limited in
temperatures below 14°F (-10°C).
• The battery is a sealed unit with no serviceable parts.
Do not attempt to open the case.
• Do not dispose of a battery in a fire! Dispose of used
batteries in accordance with local regulations.
Recycle!
