Caring for the Battery
Protecting your Battery
The guidelines listed below help you get the most out of
your battery’s performance.
ᮣ
Use only Sprint PCS-approved batteries and desktop
chargers. These chargers are designed to maximize
battery life. Using other batteries or chargers voids your
warranty and may cause damage.
ᮣ
In order to avoid damage, charge the battery only in
temperatures that range from 32º F to 113º F
(0º C to 45º C).
ᮣ
Don’t use the battery charger in direct sunlight or in
high humidity areas, such as the bathroom.
ᮣ
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:
4º F to 140º F (-20º C to 60º C)
More than one month:
4º F to 113º F (-20º C to 45º C)
