+ Never dispose of the battery by incineration.
+ Keep the metal contacts on top of the battery clean.
+ Don’t attempt to disassemble or short-circuit the battery.
+ The battery may need recharging if it has not been

used for a long period of time.

+ It’s best to replace the battery when it no longer

provides acceptable performance. It can be recharged
hundreds of times before it needs replacing.

+ Don’t store the battery in high temperature areas for long

periods of time. It’s best to follow these storage rules:

Less than one month:
-4° F to 140° F (-20° C to 60° C)
More than one month:
-4° F to 113° F (-20° C to 45° C)
Disposal of Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) Batteries
Do not handle a damaged or leaking Li-Ion battery as you
can be burned. For safe disposal options of your Li-Ion
batteries, contact your nearest authorized service center.
Special Note: Be sure to dispose of your battery properly.
In some areas, the disposal of batteries in household or

Radiofrequency (RF) Energy

Understanding How Your Phone Operates
Your phone is basically a radio transmitter and
receiver. When it’s turned on, it receives and transmits
radiofrequency (RF) signals. When you use your phone,
the system handling your call controls the power level.
This power can range from 0.006 watts to 0.2 watts in
digital mode.
Knowing Radiofrequency Safety
The design of your phone complies with updated NCRP
standards described below.
In 1991-92, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics
Engineers (IEEE) and the American National Standards
Institute (ANSI) joined in updating ANSI’s 1982 standard
for safety levels with respect to human exposure to
RF signals. More than 120 scientists, engineers and
physicians from universities, government health agencies
and industries developed this updated standard after
reviewing the available body of research. In 1993, the
Federal Communications Commission (FCC) adopted
this updated standard in a regulation. In August 1996, the
FCC adopted hybrid standard consisting of the existing
ANSI/IEEE standard and the guidelines published
by the National Council of Radiation Protection and
Measurements (NCRP).
