D780.book Page 41 Thursday, April 24, 2008 10:31 AM Precautions when using batteries • • • • • Never use a charger or battery that is damaged in any way. Use the battery only for its intended purpose. If you use the phone near the network’s base station, it uses less power.

D780.book Page 42 Thursday, April 24, 2008 10:31 AM Health and safety information • • Do not short-circuit the battery. Accidental shortcircuiting can occur when a metallic object like a coin, clip or pen causes a direct connection between the + and – terminals of the battery (metal strips on the battery). For example, do not carry a spare battery in a pocket or bag where the battery may contact metal objects.
