The battery
Your mobile is equipped with a high-performance Li-Ion
battery. Optional battery types may be available, check with
your local retailer. Observe the maintenance guidelines and
your battery should give you a long service life.
• At the beginning of the battery’s life, fully charge and
discharge (let it go flat) three times
• Do not over charge the Li-Ion battery, as this can result in a
reduction in battery performance and life span. The
recommended maximum charge time is 2.5 hours
• Avoid repeated short charging. It is preferable to let the
battery go flat and then recharge it completely

room temperature is preferable. The battery has its optimum
performance in an ambient temperature of +5 °C to +50 °C
• Don’t store a battery near a fire or heat source
• Use only the battery approved by the manufacturer
