Health and Safety Information 144
risk of fire, explosion, leakage, or other
serious hazard.
•
Extreme temperatures will affect the
charging capacity of your battery: it may
require cooling or warming first.
•
Do not leave the battery in hot or cold
places, such as in a car in summer or
winter conditions, as you will reduce the
capacity and lifetime of the battery. Always
try to keep the battery at room temperature.
A phone with a hot or cold battery may
temporarily not work, even when the
battery is fully charged. Li-ion batteries are
particularly affected by temperatures below
0 °C (32 °F).
•
Do not place the phone in areas that may
get very hot, such as on or near a cooking
surface, cooking appliance, iron, or radiator.
•
Do not get your phone or battery wet. Even
though they will dry and appear to operate
normally, the circuitry could slowly corrode
and pose a safety hazard.
•
Do not short-circuit the battery. Accidental
short-circuiting can occur when a metallic
object (coin, clip or pen) causes a direct
connection between the + and - terminals
of the battery (metal strips on the battery),
for example when you carry a spare battery
in a pocket or bag. Short-circuiting the
terminals may damage the battery or the
object causing the short-circuiting.
