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 affect-
ed 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 bat-
tery 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.
