Protecting Your Battery
The guidelines listed below help you get the most out of your
battery’s performance.
ᮣ Use only Sprint PCS-approved batteries and desktop
chargers. These chargers are designed to maximize battery
life. Using other batteries or chargers voids your warranty
and may cause damage.
ᮣ In order to avoid damage, charge the battery only in
temperatures that range from 32º F to 113º F
(0º C to 45º C).
ᮣ Don’t use the battery charger in direct sunlight or in high
humidity areas, such as the bathroom.
ᮣ Never dispose of the battery by incineration.
ᮣ Keep the metal contacts on top of the battery clean.
ᮣ Don’t attempt to disassemble or short-circuit the battery.
ᮣ The battery may need recharging if it has not been used for
a long period of time.
ᮣ 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.
ᮣ Don’t store the battery in high temperature areas for long
periods of time. It’s best to follow these storage rules:
Less than one month:
4º F to 140º F (-20º C to 60º C)
More than one month:
4º F to 113º F (-20º C to 45º C)
