Battery use and care

We recommend that you fully charge the battery before you use your mobile phone for the first time. The battery can only be charged in temperatures between +5°C (+41°F) and +45°C (+113°F).

A new battery or one that has not been used for a long time could have reduced capacity the first few times it is used.

The talk and standby times depend on the actual transmission conditions when using the mobile phone. If the mobile phone is used near a base station, less power is required and talk and standby times are prolonged. Under normal conditions the stand-by time for this battery is 175 to 300 hours.

Warning! May explode if disposed of in fire.

Use only Sony Ericsson branded original batteries and chargers intended for use with your mobile phone. Other chargers may not charge sufficiently or may produce excessive heat. Using other batteries and chargers could be dangerous.

Do not expose the battery to liquid.

Do not let the metal contacts on the battery touch another metal object. This could short-circuit and damage the battery.

Do not disassemble or modify the battery.

Do not expose the battery to extreme temperatures,

never above +60°C (+140°F). For maximum battery capacity, use the battery in room temperature.

Turn off your mobile phone before removing the

battery.

Keep out of children’s reach.

• Use the battery for the intended purpose only.

• Do not allow the battery to be put into the mouth. Battery electrolytes may be toxic if swallowed.

A rechargeable battery can be charged and discharged hundreds of times. However, it will

eventually wear out – this is not a defect. When the talk-time or standby time is noticeably shorter, it is time to replace your battery. Sony Ericsson recommends that you use only batteries and chargers approved by Sony Ericsson.
