Using the batteries
• Use the battery only for its intended purpose.
• Never use any charger or battery that 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 15°C and
25°C (59°F and 77°F). A phone with a hot or cold battery may temporarily not work, even when the
battery is fully charged. Battery performance is particularly limited in temperatures below freezing
point.
NiMH batteries performance is particularly limited in temperatures below -10°C (14°F). Li-Ion
batteries performance is particularly limited in temperatures below -0°C. (32°F).
• Do not dispose of batteries in a fire!
Batteries must be recycled or disposed of properly. They must not be disposed of in municipal
waste!
