Battery use
The following topics explain how to care for and remove your phone’s battery.
Battery cautions
Storage: Avoid storing or leaving the battery with no charge remaining.
Saved information and settings may become lost or changed, or the
battery may become unusable. Charge once every six months before
storing or leaving unused for a long period of time.
Bulges: Depending on use, bulges may appear near the end of
battery life. This does not affect safety.
Replacement: The battery is a replaceable item. It needs to be
replaced if operating time shortens noticeably.
Cleaning: Clean soiled terminals between the battery and phone
with a clean, dry cotton swab. Soiled terminals can result in a poor
connection and prevent charging and other issues
