Safety

Caring for the Battery

Protecting Your Battery

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

䢇 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 Treo devices

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 device’s manufacturer, or call

1-866-343-1114 to order. They’re also available at www.sprint.com

—click Accessories

under the Shop & Browse menu. Buying the right batteries and accessories is the best

way to ensure they’re genuine and safe.

䢇 In order to avoid damage, charge the battery only in temperatures that range from 32° F

to 113° F (0° C to 45° C).

䢇 Don’t use the battery charger in direct sunlight or in high humidity areas, such as the

bathroom.

䢇 Never dispose of the battery by incineration.

䢇 Keep the metal contacts on top of the battery clean.

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

䢇 The battery may need recharging if it has not been used for a long period of time.

䢇 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.

䢇 Don’t store the battery in high temperature areas for long periods of time. It’s best to

follow these storage rules:

䡲 Less than one month: -4° F to 140° F (-20° C to 60° C)

䡲 More than one month: -4° F to 113° F (-20° C to 45° C)
