New Batteries
The battery delivered with your phone is not fully charged.
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 could have
reduced capacity the first few times it is being used.
The talk and standby times depend on the actual transmission conditions
when using the phone. If the phone is used near a base station, less power
is required and talk and standby times are prolonged.
Use only batteries manufactured by Ericsson and the AC/DC adapter
supplied with your battery charger. Using accessories not manufactured by
Ericsson may be hazardous and the warranty does not cover product
failures caused by the use of non-Ericsson original accessories.
Do not expose your battery to extreme temperatures, never above
+60°C (+140°F).
For maximum battery capacity, use your battery at room temperature.
If the battery is used at low temperatures, the battery capacity will
be reduced.
The battery can only be charged when the temperature is between +5°C
(+41°F) and +45°C (+113°F).
Turn off your phone before removing the battery.
Use the battery only for its intended purpose.
Do not attempt to take the battery apart.
Do not let the metal contacts on the battery touch other metal objects.
This may short-circuit and damage the battery.
Do not expose a battery to open flames. This may cause the battery
to explode.
Do not expose a battery to liquids.
Never place the battery in your mouth. Battery electrolytes may be toxic if
swallowed.
Your phone manufacturer is a member of the Rechargeable Battery Recycling
Corporation (RBRC); a non-profit public service organization designed to
assist in the recycling of rechargeable batteries. Many areas require recycling
of rechargeable batteries. In the U.S., call 1-800-822-8837 for information on
how to recycle your battery. Outside the U.S., contact your local retailer for
recycling instructions.
