Battery Information
Recycling Your Battery
Your phone manufacturer is a member of the Recharge-
able Battery Recycling Corporation (RBRC), a non-
profit public service organization designed to assist in
the recycling of rechargeable batteries.
Many areas require the recycling of rechargeable batter-
ies. In the U.S., call 1-800-822-8837 to find out how to
recycle your battery. Outside the U.S., contact your local
retailer for recycling instructions.
Battery Use and Care
A rechargeable battery has a long service life if treated
properly. A new battery, or one that has not been used
for a long period of time, should be conditioned before
using your phone.
Avoid recharging a fully-charged or almost fully-charged
battery. This can result in the memory effect, which
causes the battery to charge to less than its full capacity.
If your phone shuts off due to low battery power, you
should charge the battery within 24 hours for the battery
to reach full capacity.
• Do not leave your battery where it may be sub-
jected to extremely hot or cold temperatures. This
could reduce the battery’s capacity.
• Do not let the metal contacts on the battery touch
another metal object such as keys in your pocket.
This could short-circuit and damage the battery.
• Do not attempt to take a battery apart.
• Do not expose a battery to open flame. This could
cause the battery to explode.
• Turn your phone OFF before removing the battery.
• Use only the AC/DC adapter supplied with your
battery charger. Using a different adapter could be
dangerous and will void your phone warranty.
• Never charge a battery when the ambient room
temperature is below 50° F (10°C) or above 105°F
(40°C).
• Do not allow the battery to be placed into the
mouth. Battery electrolytes may be toxic if swal-
lowed.
• Connect AC (power supply) only to designated
power sources as marked on the product.
• To reduce risk of damage, remove the electrical cord
from the outlet by pulling the AC adapter rather
than the cord.
• Make sure the electric cord is located so that it will
not be stepped on, tripped over, or otherwise sub-
jected to damage or stress.
• To reduce risk of electric shock, unplug the unit
from the power source before attempting any clean-
ing. Once unplugged, use a soft cloth lightly damp-
ened with water for cleaning.
