Protecting Your Battery
The guidelines listed below help you get the most out of your
battery’s performance.
ⅷ In very limited circumstances, such as where your phone
has been exposed to extreme heat Cool Down message
screens will appear. To avoid possible damage to your
battery and phone, you should follow these instructions until
the phone is within its recommended temperature range.
When your phone is in Cool Down mode, only emergency
calls may be made.
ⅷ Recently there have been some public reports of wireless
phone batteries overheating, catching fire, or exploding. It
appears that many, if not all, of these reports involve
counterfeit or inexpensive, aftermarket-brand batteries with
unknown or questionable manufacturing standards. Nextel is
not aware of similar problems with Nextel phones resulting
from the proper use of batteries and accessories approved
by Nextel or the manufacturer of your phone. Use only
Nextel-approved or manufacturer-approved batteries and
accessories found at Sprint Stores or through your phone’s
manufacturer, or call 1-866-866-7509 to order. They’re also
available at
www.nextel.com — click Accessories . Buying the
right batteries and accessories is the best way to ensure
they’re genuine and safe.
ⅷ In order to avoid damage, charge the battery only in
temperatures that range from 32° F to 113° F (0° C to 45° C).
ⅷ Don’t use the battery charger in direct sunlight or in high
humidity areas, such as the bathroom.
ⅷ Never dispose of the battery by incineration.
ⅷ Keep the metal contacts on top of the battery clean.
ⅷ Don’t attempt to disassemble or short-circuit the battery.
ⅷ The battery may need recharging if it has not been used for
a long period of time.
ⅷ 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.
WARNING: Never dispose of batteries in a fire because they may
explode.
