• Do not get the battery or the device wet. Even though they may dry and appear to operate
normally, the circuitry can slowly corrode and defeat its safety circuitry.
• Do not crush, puncture, deform, or put a high degree of pressure on the battery, which
can cause an internal short circuit, resulting in overheating.
• Avoid dropping the battery or the device. Dropping it, especially on a hard surface, may
cause damage to the battery and the device. If you suspect damage to the battery or the
device, replace it.
• When the battery is outside the device, do not allow the battery to come in contact with
metal objects, such as coins, keys, jewelry, or tools.
• Do not disassemble or modify batteries. Do not use a battery for anything other than its
intended purpose.
Appropriate Batteries and Chargers
• Use only approved batteries in the device. Only purchase products and accessories
recommended by NETGEAR or your carrier. Use of unapproved batteries, products, or
accessories will void your warranty.
• Do not use incompatible batteries and chargers. Some websites and second-hand
dealers, not associated with reputable manufacturers and carriers, may sell incompatible
or even counterfeit batteries and chargers.
• If you are unsure about whether a replacement battery or charger is compatible, contact
NETGEAR.
Battery Disposal
• Disposal regulations vary by region. Dispose of old batteries and equipment in
compliance with your local regulations.
• Proper disposal might include recycling programs for batteries, cell phones, or other
electronic waste.
• Do not dispose of batteries in a fire.
