battery discharge facility of any approved accessory available for your phone). Do not attempt to discharge the battery by any other means.

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

•Use the battery only for its intended purpose.

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

•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 back of 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 59° F and 77° F (15° C and 25° C). A phone with a hot or cold battery may tempo- rarily not work, even when the battery is fully charged. NiMH batteries’ performance is particularly limited in temperatures below 14° F (-10° C). Li-ion batteries’ performance is particularly limited in temperatures below 32° F (0° C).

•Do not dispose of batteries in a fire!

•Batteries must be recycled or disposed of properly. Must not be disposed of in municipal waste.

Radio Frequency (RF) Signals

Your wireless handheld portable telephone is a low power ra- dio transmitter and receiver. When it is ON, it receives and also sends out radio frequency (RF) signals.

In August, 1996, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) adopted RF exposure guidelines with safety levels for handheld wireless phones. Those guidelines are consistent with safety standards previously set by both U.S. and interna- tional standards bodies:

ANSI C95.1 (1992)*, NCRP Report 86 (1986)*, ICNIRP (1996)*.

Those standards were based on comprehensive and periodic evaluations of the relevant scientific literature. For example, over 120 scientists, engineers, and physicians from universities, gov- ernment health agencies and industry reviewed the available body of research to develop the ANSI Standard (C95.1).
