12Guidelines for safe and efficient use
Battery information and care
• You do not need to completely discharge the battery before recharging. Unlike
other battery systems, there is no memory effect that could compromise the
battery’s performance.
• Use only LG batteries and chargers. LG chargers are designed to maximise the
batter
y life.
• Do not disassemble or short-circuit the battery.
• Keep the metal contacts of the battery clean.
• Replace the battery when it no longer provides acceptable performance. The
batter
y pack may be recharged hundreds of times before it needs replacing.
• Recharge the battery if it has not been used for a long time to maximise
usability
.
• Do not expose the battery charger to direct sunlight or use it in high humidity,
such as in the bathr
oom.
• Do not leave the battery in hot or cold places, as this may deteriorate battery
performanc
e.
• Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Dispose of used
batter
ies according to the instructions.
• If you need to replace the battery, take it to the nearest authorised LG
Electr
onics service point or dealer for assistance.
• Always unplug the charger from the wall socket after the device is fully charged
to sav
e unnecessary power consumption of the charger.
• Actual battery life will depend on network configuration, product settings,
usage patterns, batter
y and environmental conditions.
• Make sure that no sharp-edged items such as animal’s teeth or nails, come into
c
ontact with the battery. This could cause a fire.
