Important Safety Information

Caring for the Battery

Protecting Your Battery

The guidelines listed below help you get the most out of your battery’s

performance. Recently, there have been some public reports of wireless

phone batteries overheating, catching fire, or exploding. It appears that

many, if not all, of these reports involve counterfeit or inexpensive,

aftermarket-brand batteries with unknown or questionable

manufacturing standards. Sprint is not aware of similar problems with

Sprint PCS® phones resulting from the proper use of batteries and

accessories approved by Sprint or the manufacturer of your phone. Use

only Sprint- or manufacturer-approved batteries and accessories found at

Sprint Stores or through your phone’s manufacturer, or call 1-866-343-

1114 to order. They’re also available at

http://www.sprint.com

–

click the

Wireless

link under “Personal,” and then click

Accessories

under “Shop

Sprint PCS Online.” “Buying the right batteries and accessories is the best

way to ensure they’re genuine and safe.

In order to avoid damage, charge the battery only in temperatures that

range from 32° F to 113° F (0° C to 45° C).

Don’t use the battery charger in direct sunlight or in high humidity

areas, such as the bathroom.

Never dispose of the battery by incineration.

Keep the metal contacts on top of the battery clean.

Don’t attempt to disassemble or short-circuit the battery.

The battery may need recharging if it has not been used for a long

period of time.

It’s best to replace the battery when it no longer provides acceptable

performance. It can be recharged hundreds of times before it needs

replacing.

Don’t store the battery in high temperature areas for long periods of

time. It’s best to follow these storage rules:

Less than one month:

-4° F to 140° F (-20° C to 60° C)

More than one month:

-4° F to 113° F (-20° C to 45° C)

Disposal of Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) Batteries

For safe disposal options of your Li-Ion batteries, contact your nearest

Sprint authorized service center.

Special Note:

Be sure to dispose of your battery properly. In some areas,

the disposal of batteries in household or business trash may be prohibited.
