Caring for the Battery
Protecting Your Battery
The guidelines listed below help you get the most out of your battery’s
performance.
Use only Sprint-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)
Disposal of Lithium Ion (LiIon) Batteries
For safe disposal options of your LiIon batteries, contact your nearest
Sprint-authorized service center.
Special Note:
Be sure to dispose of your battery properly. In some areas,
the disposal of batteries in household or business trash may be
prohibited.
Note:
For safety, do not handle a damaged or leaking LiIon battery.

Cautions
Any changes or modifications to your phone not expressly approved in
this document could void your warranty for this equipment, and void
your authority to operate this equipment. Only use approved batteries,
antennas and chargers. The use of any unauthorized accessories may be
dangerous and void the phone warranty if said accessories cause damage
or a defect to the phone.
Although your phone is quite sturdy, it is a complex piece of equipment
and can be broken. Avoid dropping, hitting, bending or sitting on it.
Body-Worn Operation
SAR compliance for body-worn operating configurations is limited to the
specific belt-clip/ holster tested for this filing. End-users must be
informed of the body-worn operating requirements for satisfying
RF exposure compliance. The use of accessories that do not satisfy
these requirements may not comply with FCC RF exposure compliance
and should be avoided.
