Precautions while Using the Battery

•Do not use a damaged battery or charger.

•Use the battery for the specified purpose only.

•The closer you are to the base station, the longer the handset usage time because less battery is consumed for the connection.

•Battery charging time varies depending on the remaining battery capacity and the battery and charger type in use.

•Battery life is shortened as time passes by.

•Use authorized battery and charger only.

•Since overcharging may shorten battery life, remove the battery from its charger once it is fully charged. Unplug the charger once charging is complete. Leaving the battery in hot or cold places, especially inside a car in summer or winter, may reduce the capacity and life of the battery. Always keep the battery within normal temperatures.

•Do not ground the battery. Grounding may occur when the battery is in contact with a conductive object. A grounded handset may also damage the battery.

•Dispose and recycle used batteries in accordance with local regulations.

•Do not dispose of the batteries in a fire.

•Do not use an unauthorized charger.

•In order to prevent injury or burns, ensure that metal objects do not come into contact with the + and – terminals of the battery.
