Battery Information
Charging the Battery
The battery delivered with your phone is not fully
charged. We recommend that you charge the battery for
12 hours before you use the phone for the first time. If
you are charging a new battery, or a battery that has run
out completely, it may take a while before you get any
indication (the battery meter appears in the display) that
the battery is being charged.
Please note that you cannot turn on the phone before
the indicator lights up and the battery meter appears in
the display.
The battery can only be charged in temperatures
between +41°F (+5°C) and +113°F(+45°C).
Battery Use and Care
A rechargeable battery has a long service life if treated
properly. A new battery or one that has not been used
for a long time could have reduced capacity the first few
times it is used.
• The talk and standby times depend on the actual
transmission conditions when using the phone. If the
phone is used near a base station, less power is required
and talk and standby times are prolonged.
• Use only Ericsson original batteries and chargers. Using
other batteries and chargers could be dangerous, and the
warranty does not cover product failures which have
been caused by use of non-Ericsson original batteries
and chargers.
• Do not expose the battery to extreme temperatures,
never above +140°F (+60°C). For maximum battery
capacity, use the battery at room temperature. If the
battery is used in low temperatures, battery capacity will
be reduced.
• Turn off your phone before removing the battery.
• Use the battery for the intended purpose only.
• Do not attempt to take the battery apart.
• Do not let the metal contacts on the battery touch
another metal object. This could short-circuit and
damage the battery.
• Do not expose the battery to open flames. This could
cause the battery to explode.
• Do not expose the battery to liquid.
• Do not allow the battery to be put into the mouth.
Battery electrolytes may be toxic if swallowed.
Disposing of the Battery
The battery should never be placed in municipal waste.
Please check local regulations for disposal of batteries.
