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 back cover of the battery) e.g., 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
59°F (15°C) and 77°F (25°C). A phone with a too hot or cold
battery may temporarily not work (or charge), even when the
battery is fully charged. The battery may require cooling or
warming first. The performance of NiMH batteries is particu-
larly limited in temperatures below 14°F (-10°C).
•
Use only batteries and chargers approved by the phone manu-
facturer. When a charger is not in use, disconnect it from the
power source. Do not leave the battery connected to a charger
for longer than a week, since overcharging may shorten its life.
If left unused, a fully charged battery will discharge itself in
about a week at room temperature.
•
When the battery is not in use, store it uncharged in a cool and
dark place.
•
The battery is a sealed unit with no serviceable parts. Do not
attempt to open the case.
