Standard-type battery.
Slim-type battery.
Precautions while Using the Battery
• Do not use a damaged battery or charger.
• Use the battery for the specified purpose only.
• The closer you are to the base station, the longer the
handset usage time because less battery is consumed for
the connection.
• Battery charging time varies depending on the remaining
battery capacity and the battery and charger type in use.
• Battery life is shortened as time passes by.
• Use authorized battery and charger only.
• Since overcharging may shorten battery life, remove the
battery from its charger once it is fully charged. Unplug the
charger once charging is complete. Leaving the battery in
hot or cold places, especially inside a car in summer or
winter, may reduce the capacity and life of the battery.
Always keep the battery within normal temperatures.
• Do not ground the battery. Grounding may occur when the
battery is in contact with a conductive object. A grounded
handset may also damage the battery.
• Dispose and recycle used batteries in accordance with
local regulations.
• Do not dispose of the batteries in a fire.
• Do not use an unauthorized charger.
• In order to prevent injury or burns, ensure that metal
objects do not come into contact with the + and –
terminals of the battery.
