Battery 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

• Keeping backlighting on.
• Operating when far away from a base

station or cell site.

• Using accessories.
• Operating when no service is available, or

service is available intermittently.

• High earpiece and ringer volume settings.
• Repeating sound, vibration, or lighted

alerts.
