Battery Tips

WARNING ! Always use only approved batteries and chargers with your MiFi 5510. The

warranty does not cover damage caused by non-approved batteries and/or chargers.

• It normally takes at least three hours to fully charge the battery with the wall charger.

• Do not use sharp objects or use excessive force to remove the battery or to access the battery well, this may damage the MiFi 5510 and the battery.

• The battery discharges more rapidly as additional devices access your MiFi 5510.

• Battery life depends on the network, signal strength, temperature, features, and accessories you use.

• New batteries or batteries stored for a long time may take more time to charge.

• When charging your battery, keep it near room temperature.

• When storing your battery, keep it uncharged in a cool, dark, dry place.

• Never expose batteries to temperatures below -20°C (4°F) or above 60°C (140°F).

• Never leave the MiFi 5510 in an unattended vehicle due to uncontrollable temperatures that may be outside the desired temperature for this MiFi 5510.

• Some batteries perform best after several full charge/discharge cycles.

• It is normal for batteries to gradually wear down and require longer charging times. If you notice a change in your battery life, it is probably time to purchase a new battery.

IMPORTANT Whenever you remove or insert either the battery or the SIM card, ensure your

MiFi 5510 is not connected to any device or power source. Never use tools, knives, keys, pens or any type of object to force the door open or to remove the battery. Using any of these types of objects could result in puncturing the battery.

WARNING ! The failure to use approved batteries and chargers may increase the risk that your

MiFi 5510 will overheat, catch ﬁre, or explode, resulting in serious bodily injury, death, or property damage. To avoid risk of explosion, never dispose of batteries in a ﬁre.
