Charging and Discharging
Note that a new battery's full performance is achieved only after two or three complete charge and discharge cycles. The operations times provided are reasonable estimates and may be affected by network con- ditions, charging and phone usage.
The battery can be charged and discharged hundreds of times but it will eventually wear out. A noticeably shorter operating time
Use only Siemens batteries and recharge your battery only with Siemens chargers. When the 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, since overcharging may shorten its life. If left unused a fully charged battery will discharge itself over time.
If the battery is completely empty, it may take a few minutes before you can make or receive a call once you plug the phone into a charger.
Temperature extremes will affect the ability of your battery to charge: allow it to cool down or warm up first.
Note
Use the battery only for its intended pur- pose.
Never use any charger or battery that is damaged or worn out.
Do not short circuit the battery. Accidental
+and – terminals of the battery (metal strips on the back of the bat- tery) for example when you carry a spare battery in your pocket or purse.
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 bat- tery. Always try to keep the battery between 15 °C and 25 °C (59 °F and 77 °F). A phone with a hot or cold battery may be temporarily inopera- ble, even when the battery is fully charged.
Do not dispose of batteries in a fire! Explosion may result.
