Safety Caring for the Battery Protecting Your Battery The guidelines listed below help you get the most out of your battery's performance. ⅷ Use only Sprint-approved batteries and desktop chargers. These chargers are designed to maximize battery life. Using other batteries or chargers voids your warranty and may cause damage. ⅷ In order to avoid damage, charge the battery only in temperatures that range from 32° F to 113° F (0° C to 45° C). ⅷ Don't use the battery charger in direct sunlight or in high humidity areas, such as the bathroom. ⅷ Never dispose of the battery by incineration. ⅷ Keep the metal contacts on top of the battery clean. ⅷ Don't attempt to disassemble or short-circuit the battery. ⅷ The battery may need recharging if it has not been used for a long period of time. ⅷ 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. ⅷ 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 (LiIon) Batteries For safe disposal options of your LiIon 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. Note: For safety, do not handle a damaged or leaking LiIon battery. Section 4A: Safety 261
