12.5Cautions for battery usage
The battery usage depends on the network, phone setting and
usage situation.
Never use any damaged battery.
The phone will consume a little power if it is near network
station. Therefore, the call and standby time depends greatly on
the signal strength of honeycomb network and the parameters
set by network operator.
The battery charging time lies on the remnant power, and the
type of the battery and charger. When the operation time (talk
time and standby time) is noticeably shorter than normal, it is
time to replace with a new battery.
Only use batteries and charges authorized for this device,
otherwise, explosion might be caused. Please disconnect the
charger while unused. Do not leave the battery connected to a
charger over one week, for overcharging may shorten the life
length.
Do not connect the anode and cathode of a battery inversely.
Do not leave the battery in places with over-high or over-low
temperature, otherwise, the battery capacity will be reduced and
battery life will be shortened. Always try to keep the battery in
room temperature.
Do not short-circuit the battery. This may damage the electronic
core or internal protected circuit. If you keep the unused battery
in the pocket or bags, metal objects (e.g. coin, clip or pen, etc)
inside might have the anode directly contacted with the cathode
of the battery and caused accidental short circuit. Therefore,
please carefully and separately store the battery.
Don’t burn your phone battery or treat it as common rubbish.
Please adhere to the local environmental policy in order to avoid
endangering life and causing environmental damage, and
recycle your batteries in time.
