Charging and Discharging
Your phone is powered by a rechargeable battery.
Note that a new battery’s full performance is achieved only after two or three complete charge and 
discharge cycles!
The battery can be charged and discharged hundreds of times but it will eventually wear out. When the 
operating time (talk-time and standby time) is noticeably shorter than  normal, it is time  to buy a new  
battery.
Use only batteries approved by the phone manufacturer and recharge your battery only with the 
chargers approved by the manufacturer. Unplug the charger when not in use. Do not leave the battery 
connected to a charger for longer than a week, since overcharging may shorten its lifetime. If left 
unused a fully charged battery will discharge itself over time.
Temperature extremes can affect the ability of your battery to charge.
Use the battery only for its intended purpose.
Never use any charger or battery which is damaged.
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 
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.
