Using the batteries
• Use the battery only for its intended purpose.
• Never use any charger or battery which 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.
• Do not dispose of batteries in a fire!
Batteries must be recycled or disposed of properly.
Must not be disposed of in municipal waste!
