Battery
 Your phone is powered by a rechargeable
battery.
 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 phone manufacturer and
recharge your 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.
 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.
