Temperature extremes may affect the ability of your battery to charge: allow it to cool down or warm up first.

Never use any charger or battery which is damaged or worn out.

Always unplug the charger when not in use. Do not leave the batteries connected to the charger for longer than a week, since overcharging may shorten its lifetime. If left unused, a fully charged battery will discharge itself over time.

Do not paint your phone as this can clog its moving parts and prevent operation.

Only use the antenna supplied or an approved replacement antenna. Unauthorised antennae, modifications or attachments could damage the phone and may violate regulations governing use of mobile phones.

Keep all SIM Cards out of children’s reach.

Use your phone battery only for its intended purpose, and never use any charger or battery which is damaged or worn out.

Never allow the battery terminals to short circuit, as this can cause damage to the battery or to the connecting object (a short circuit can occur if a metallic object such as a coin, clip or pen causes direct connection between the + and - terminals of the battery). Therefore, always take adequate precautions when carrying a spare battery in a purse or pocket.

Batteries must be recycled or disposed of properly and according to your local regulations, and must never be disposed of in household waste. Never dispose of batteries in a fire.

When you disconnect the power cord of any accessory, including the charger, grasp and pull the plug, not the cord.

For good operation times, discharge an NiMH battery from time to time by leaving your phone switched on until it turns itself off.

Do not attempt to open the casing on your phone or its battery. Non-expert handling may damage it.

Do not drop, knock or shake the phone. Rough handling can break the internal circuit boards.

Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents to clean your phone. Wipe it with a soft cloth slightly dampened in a mild soap and water solution.

Do not store it in hot areas. High temperatures can shorten the life of electronic devices, damage batteries and warp or melt certain plastics.

Do not store your phone in cold areas. When it warms up (to its normal temperature) moisture can form inside the phone which may damage electronic circuit boards.

All of the above suggestions apply equally to your phone, battery, charger or any accessory. If any of them is not working properly, contact Orange customer services on 07973 100 150 or, if you are a pay as you go customer, on 07973 100 451, from any other phone for assistance.
