Important Battery Information
•Use only batteries and chargers approved by the phone manufacturer.
•When a charger is not in use, disconnect it from the power source. Do not leave the battery connected to a charger for longer than a week; overcharging may shorten its life.
•If left unused, a fully charged battery will discharge itself in about a week at room temperature.
•Never use any charger or battery that is damaged or worn out.
•Use the battery only for its intended purpose.
•Do not short circuit the battery. Accidental short circuiting can occur when a metallic object
(e.g. coin, clip, or pen) causes direct connection of the + and - terminals of the battery (metal strips on the back of the battery), for example when you carry a spare battery in your pocket or purse. Short circuiting the terminal 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, reduces the capacity and lifetime of the battery. Always try to keep the battery between 59°F and 77°F (15°C and 25°C). A phone with a hot or cold battery may temporarily not work (or charge) even if the battery is fully charged. NiMH battery performance is particularly limited in temperatures below 14°F
•Temperature extremes affect the ability of your battery to charge: it may require cooling or warming first.
•When the battery is not in use, store it uncharged in a cool, dark and dry place.
•The battery is a sealed unit with no serviceable parts. Do not attempt to open the case.
•It is recommended that you allow your battery to fully discharge before you recharge it.
