Battery Safety Tips
• Replace the battery when it will not hold a charge, or when operating time decreases dramat-
ically.
• Use only the Mitsubishi chargers specified for this battery. Using other chargers or batteries
will void the warranty and may cause damage.
• It is normal for batteries to become warm during charging.
• Do not leave NiMH batteries connected to a charger longer than necessary; overcharging will
shorten battery life.
• Disconnect battery chargers from the power source when not in use.
• Do not leave the phone in a closed car during hot summer or cold winter conditions or exposed
to intense sunlight. The phone may temporarily not work with a hot or cold battery.
• The recharging temperature range is 32°--104° F (0°--40° C). If you attempt to recharge
when the battery is above or below this range, acid leakage or overheating may result.
• Do not use or leave the battery near a heat source such as a stove, oven, heater or fire (170° F
= 76° C or higher).
• The battery is not waterproof. Do not immerse it in liquid or allow it to get wet.
• Avoid contact of the battery terminals with metal objects (such as keys, paper clips, coins,
chains) or excessive static electricity which may short circuit the battery.
• If the battery terminals become soiled, clean them with a soft cloth.
• Do not try to disassemble or modify the battery as injury or burns may result.
• Do not drop or subject the batteries to strong physical shocks.
• Keep batteries out of the reach of children.
• Batteries may explode if discarded into a fire or heated.
• Do not dispose of old batteries together with household waste. Starting in 2001, the Recharge-
able Battery Recycling Corporation will be collecting many types of batteries. Call 1-800-822-
