in use, disconnect it from the power source. Do not leave the battery connected to a charger for more than a
week, since overcharging may shorten its life.
Extreme temperatures will affect the charging capacity of your battery: it may require cooling or warming
first.
Do not leave the battery in hot or cold places, such as in a car in summer or winter conditions, as you will
reduce the capacity and life-time of the battery. Always try to keep the battery at room temperature. A phone
with a hot or cold battery may temporarily not work, even when the battery is fully charged. Li-ion batteries
are particularly affected by temperatures below 0 C (32 F).
Accidental short circuiting can occur when a metallic object (coin, clip or pen)causes a direct connection
between the + and - terminals of the battery (metal strips on the back of the battery), for example when you
carry a spare battery in a pocket or bag. Short-circuiting the terminals may damage the battery or the object
causing the short-circuit.
Dispose of used batteries in accordance with local regulations. Always recycle. Do not dispose of batteries in
a fire.

Precautions When Using Batteries
Never use any charger or battery that is damaged in any way.
Use the battery only for its intended purpose.
If you use the phone near the network s base station, it uses less power; talk and standby times are greatly
affected by the signal strength on the cellular network and the parameters set by the network operator.
Battery charging times depend on the remaining battery charge and the type of battery and charger used.
The battery can be charged and discharged hundreds of times, but it will gradually wear out. When the
operation time (talk time and standby time) is noticeably shorter than normal, it is time to buy a new battery.
If left unused, a fully charged battery will discharge itself over time.
Use only approved batteries and recharge your battery only with approved chargers. When a charger is not
