Battery care
General safety guidelines
• Do not disassemble or open the battery.
• Do not crush, bend, deform, puncture, or
shred the battery.
• Do not attempt to insert foreign objects into
the battery.
• Do not immerse the battery or expose it to
water or other liquids. Even if a battery
appears to dry out and operate normally,
internal parts can slowly corrode and pose a
safety hazard.
• Always keep the battery between 15 °C and
25 °C (59 °F and 77 °F). Do not expose the
battery to extremes of temperature (heat or
cold), fire, or other hazards such as a cooking
surface, iron, or radiator.
• Never use any damaged battery.
• Only use the battery for its intended phone.
• Only use the battery with a qualified charger.
Use of an unqualified battery charger
may present a risk of fire, explosion,
leakage, or other hazard. If you are
unsure about whether a charger is
qualified, contact customer support.
• Do not short-circuit the battery or
allow metallic conductive objects—such
as keys, coins, or jewelry—to contact
the battery’s terminals.
• Replace the battery only with another qualified
battery. Use of an unqualified battery may
present a risk of fire, explosion, leakage, or
other hazard. If you are unsure about whether
a replacement battery is compatible, contact
customer support.
• Promptly dispose of used batteries in
accordance with local regulations and
recycle if possible. Do not dispose as
household waste.
• Supervise all battery usage by children.
• Avoid dropping the phone or battery. If
the phone or battery is dropped, especially
on a hard surface, an internal short-circuit
can occur and pose a safety hazard. If you
suspect battery damage, take it to a service
center for inspection.
• Improper battery use may result in a fire,
explosion, or other hazard.
Common causes of battery drain
• Playing games or using the Web.
• Taking pictures with the flash on.
• Keeping backlighting on.
• Operating in digital mode when far away from
a base station or cell site.
• Using data cables or accessories.
• Operating when no service is available, or
service is available intermittently.
• High earpiece and ringer volume settings.
• Repeating sound, vibration, or lighted alerts.
