Using the Batteries

A rechargeable Li-ion standard battery powers your phone. The
following shows the details of your battery:

Type Capacity Talk Time Standby Time

Li-ion 520mAh 4hrs 100hrs

Precautions When Using Batteries

• Never use any charger or battery that is damaged in any way.

• Use the battery only for i ts intended purpose.

• If you use the phone near the network’s base station, it uses less

power; talk and standby times are greatly affected by the signal
strength on the cellular network and the parameters set by the
network operator.

• Battery charging times depend on the remaining battery capacity

85

and the type of battery and charger used. The battery can be charged
and discharged hundreds of times, but it will gradually wear out.
When the operation time (talk time and standby time) is noticeably
shorter th an normal, it is time to buy a new battery.

• If left unused, a fully charged battery will discharge itself over time.

• Use only approved batteries; and recharge your battery only with

approved chargers. When a charger is not in use, disconnect it from
the power source. Do not leave the battery connected to a charger
for more than a week, since overcharging may shorten its life.

• Extreme temperatures will affect the charging capacity of your

battery: it may require cooling or warming first. Do not leave t he
battery in hot or cold places, such as in a car in summer or winter
conditions, as you will reduce the capacity and lifetime of the
battery. Always try to keep the battery at room temperature. A
phone with a hot or cold battery may temporarily not work, even
when the battery is fully charged. Li-ion batteries are particularly
affected by temperatures below 0 °C.

• Do not short -circuit the battery. Accidental short-circuiting can

occur when a metallic object (coin, clip or pen) causes a direct
connection between the + and - terminals of the battery (metal strips
on the back of the battery), for example when you carry a spare
battery in a pocket or bag. Short-circuiting the terminals may

86

damage the battery or the object causing the short -circuit ing.

• Dispose of used batteries in accordance with local regulations.

Always recycle. Do not dispose of batteries in a fire.

Care and Maintenance

Your phone is a product of superior design and craftsmanship and
should be treated with care. The suggestions below will help you to
fulfill any warranty obligations and allow you to enjoy this product for
many years. When using your phone, battery, charger, or any
accessory:

• Keep it and all its parts and accessories out of small children’s

reach.

• Keep it dry. Precipitation, humidity and liquids contain minerals

that will corrode electronic circuits.

• Do not use or store it in dusty, dirty areas as its moving parts can be

damaged.

• Do not store it in hot areas. High temperatures can shorten the life of

electronic devices, damage batteries, and warp or melt certain
plastics.

87

• Do not store it in cold areas. When the phone warms up (to its

normal operating temperature), moisture can form inside the phone,
which may damage the phone’s electronic circuit boards.

• Do not drop, knock or shake it. Rough handling can break internal

circuit boards.

• Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents

to clean it. Wipe it with a soft cloth slightly dampened in a mild
soap-and-water solution.

• Do not paint it. Paint can clog the device’s moving parts and prevent

proper operation.

• Use only the supplied or an approved replacement antenna.

Unauthorized antennas, modifications of attachments could damage
the phone and may violate regulations governing radio devices.

• If the phone, battery, charger, or any accessory do not work properly,

take it to your nearest qualified service facility.

• This phone features large inner & outer display screens, which are

damageable. Please be most careful to avo id dropping or knocking
or scratching it with a sharp thing.
