Important Battery Information
Use only batteries and chargers approved by the
phone manufacturer.
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; overcharging
may shorten its life.
If left unused, a fully charged battery will discharge
itself in about a week at room temperature.
Never use any charger or battery that is damaged
or worn out.
Use the battery only for its intended purpose.
Do not short circuit the battery. Accidental short
circuiting 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 battery in your pocket or purse.
Short circuiting the terminal 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,
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 temporarily not work (or charge) even if
the battery is fully charged. NiMH battery
performance is particularly limited in temperatures
below 14°F (-10°C).
Temperature extremes affect the ability of your
battery to charge: it may require cooling or warming
first.
When the battery is not in use, store it uncharged in
a cool, dark and dry place.
The battery is a sealed unit with no serviceable
parts. Do not attempt to open the case.
It is recommended that you allow your battery to
fully discharge before you recharge it.
