Precautions while Using the Battery [4.4]
- Do not use a damaged battery or charger.
- Use the battery for the specified purpose only.

because less battery power is consumed for the connection.
- Battery charging time varies depending on the remaining battery
capacity and the battery and charger type in use.
- Battery life is shortened as time passes by.
- Use an authorised battery and charger only.
- Since overcharging may shorten battery life, remove the battery from its
charger once it is fully charged. Unplug the charger, once charging is
complete. Leaving the battery in hot or cold places, especially inside a
car in summer or winter, may reduce the capacity and life of the battery.
Always keep the battery within normal temperatures.
- Do not earth the battery. Earthing may occur when the battery is in
contact with a conductive object. An earthed phone may also damage
the battery.
- Dispose and recycle used batteries in accordance with local regulations.
- Do not dispose of the batteries in a fire.
- Do not use an unauthorised charger.
- In order to prevent injury or burns, ensure that metal objects do not
come into contact with the + and – terminals of the battery.
