Caring for the Battery

Protecting Your Battery

The guidelines listed below help you get the most out of your
battery’s performance.
䢇Recently there have been some public reports of wireless
phone batteries overheating, catching fire, or exploding. It
appears that many, if not all, of these reports involve
counterfeit or inexpensive, aftermarket-brand batt eries with
unknown or questionable manufacturing standards. Nextel is
not aware of similar problems with Nextel phones resulting
from the proper use of batteries and accessories approved
by Nextel or the manufacturer of your phone. Use only
Nextel-approved or manufacturer-approved batteries and
accessories found at Sprint Stores or through your phone’s
manufacturer, or call 1-866-866-7509 to order. They’re also
available at www.nextel.com — click Accessories. Buying the
right batteries and accessories is the best way to ensure
they’re genuine and safe.
䢇In order to avoid damage, charge the battery only in
temperatures that range from 32° F to 113° F (0° C to 45° C).
䢇Don’t use the battery charger in direct sunlight or in high
humidity areas, such as the bathroom.
䢇Never dispose of the battery by incineration.
䢇Keep the metal contacts on top of the battery clean.
䢇Don’t attempt to disassemble or short-circuit the battery.
䢇The battery may need recharging if it has not been used for
a long period of time.
