Important Safety Information 93
● 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. Use only
manufacturer-approved batteries and
accessories. Buying the right batteries
and accessories is the best way to
ensure they’re genuine and safe.
● 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 disassemble or open, crush,
bend or deform, or puncture or shred
the battery.
● Do not modify or remanufacture, attempt
to insert foreign objects into the battery,
immerse or expose to water or other
liquids, expose to fire, explosion, or
other hazard.
● Avoid dropping the phone or battery. If
the phone or battery is dropped,
especially on a hard surface, and the
user suspects damage, take it to a
service center for inspection.
● Improper battery use may result in a fire,
explosion or other hazard.
● Do not short-circuit a battery or allow
metallic conductive objects to contact
battery terminals.
● Keep the metal contacts on top of the
battery clean.
● Battery usage by children should be
supervised.
Charging
● In order to avoid damage, charge the
battery only in temperatures that range
from 32° F to 113°(0° C to 45° C).
● Don’t use the battery charger in direct
sunlight or in high humidity areas, such
as the bathroom.
● 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.
● 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.
Storing
● Don’t store the battery in high
temperature areas for long periods of
time. It’s best to follow these storage
rules:
