5. Battery statements
■ Charging and
Discharging
Your phone is powered by a
rechargeable battery.
Note that a new battery's full
performance is achieved only after
two or three complete charge and
discharge cycles!
The battery can be charged and
discharged hundreds of times but
it will eventually wear out. When
the operating time (talk-time and
standby time) is noticeably shorter
than normal, it is time to buy a
new battery.
Use only batteries approved by the
phone manufacturer and recharge
your battery only with the
chargers approved by the
manufacturer. Unplug the charger
when not in use. Do not leave the
battery connected to a charger for
longer than a week, since
overcharging may shorten its
lifetime. If left unused a fully
charged battery will discharge
itself over time.
Temperature extremes can affect
the ability of your battery to
charge.
Use the battery only for its
intended purpose.
Never use any charger or battery
which is damaged.
Do not short-circuit the battery.
Accidental short-circuiting can
occur when a metallic object (coin,
clip or pen) causes direct
connection of the + and -
terminals of the battery (metal
strips on the battery) for example
when you carry a spare battery in
your pocket or purse. Short-
circuiting the terminals may
damage the battery or the
connecting object.
Leaving the battery in hot or cold
places, such as in a closed car in
summer or winter conditions, will
reduce the capacity and lifetime of
the battery. Always try to keep the
battery between 15°C and 25°C. A
phone with a hot or cold battery
may temporarily not work, even
when the battery is fully charged.
Batteries' performance is
particularly limited in
temperatures well below freezing.
Do not dispose off batteries in a
fire!
Dispose off batteries according to
local regulations (e.g. recycling).
Do not dispose off as household
waste.
