Caring for the Battery

Protecting Your Battery

The guidelines listed below help you get the most out of your battery’s performance.

● 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.
