Battery Cautions

Storage: Avoid storing or leaving battery with no charge remaining. Saved information and settings

may become lost or changed, or battery may become unusable. Charge once every six months

before storing or leaving unused for a long period.

Bulges: Depending on use, bulges may appear near end of battery life. This does not affect safety.

Replacing Battery: The battery is a consumable item. It needs to be replaced if operating time

shortens noticeably. Purchase a new battery.

Cleaning: Clean soiled terminals between battery and phone with a clean, dry cotton swab. Soiled

terminals can result in a poor connection and prevent charging, etc.
