When the battery is running out of power and your phone only has a few
minutes of talk time remaining, a warning tone sounds and the Battery
low message appears briefly. When no talk time is left, a warning tone is
sounded and the phone switches itself off.
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.

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 might not work temporarily, even if the
battery is fully charged. Batteries’ performance is particularly limited in
temperatures below 0°C (32°F).
The following list provides a guideline that you can follow:
•
When the operating time (talk time and standby time) is noticeably
shorter than normal, buy a new battery.
•
Use the battery only for its intended purpose.
•
Never use any charger or battery that is damaged or worn out.
•
Dispose of batteries according to local regulations, for example,
recycling. Do not dispose of as household waste.
•
When you disconnect the power cord of any accessory, grasp and pull
the plug, not the cord.
