Troubleshooting and Maintenance

Caring for the battery

Your VisorPhone uses a 680mAh Lithium Ion battery. A fully-charged
battery provides approximately 3 hours of talk time and more than 70 hours
of standby time. Follow these guidelines to get the most from your battery:

■

Do not disassemble the battery pack.

■

If you are not using your VisorPhone for an extended period of time,

disconnect the battery pack from the phone and store it in a cool, dry
place; charge the battery at least once every six months when not in use.

■

Never throw the battery pack into fire or expose it to extreme heat.

■

If the battery pack ever becomes hot or smells odd, stop using it.

■

If the battery pack becomes damaged and leaks liquid, stop using it and

avoid skin contact with the leaking liquid.

■

Use only a genuine Handspring battery pack. Third party battery packs

are not guaranteed to function properly with your VisorPhone.

■

Always replace the battery pack with the same type of pack. Using

another type of battery pack may cause an explosion.

■

Do not short any battery contacts or let the contacts come in direct

contact with conductive or electronic objects.

■

Be sure to properly dispose of the battery. For more information, see

“How do I dispose of the battery?” on page 93.
