Battery Information
Note that a new battery's full performance is achieved only after two or three
complete charge and discharge cycles.
The battery can be charged and discharged hundreds of times but it will
eventually wear out. When the operating time (talk-time and standby time) is
noticeably shorter than normal, it is time to buy a new battery.
Use only batteries approved by the mobile terminal manufacturer and recharge
the battery only with the chargers approved by the manufacturer. Unplug the
charger when not in use. Do not leave the battery connected to a charger for
longer than a week, since overcharging may shorten its lifetime. If left unused
a fully charged battery will discharge itself over time.
Temperature extremes can affect the ability of your battery to charge.
For good operation times with Ni-Cd/NiMh batteries, discharge the battery
from time to time by leaving the product switched on until it turns itself off (or
by using the battery discharge facility of any approved accessory available for
the product). Do not attempt to discharge the battery by any other means.
Use the battery only for its intended purpose.
Never use any charger or battery which is damaged.
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 battery) for example 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 15°C and 25°C (59°F and 77°F). A mobile
terminal with a hot or cold battery may temporarily not work, even when the
battery is fully charged. Batteries' performance is particularly limited in
temperatures well below freezing.
Do not dispose of batteries in a fire.
Dispose of batteries according to local regulations (e.g. recycling). Do not
dispose as household waste.
