Safety Information

Handling batteries, dispatch, storage, battery replacement

Use batteries only in a proper way. Avaya GmbH & Co. KG will not assume
any liability for damage resulting from improper handling of the battery. Ob-
serve the 'Information on the use of batteries' in the 'Putting into operation'
section of the user's manual!
When batteries leak in extreme cases, liquids (electrolytes) or gases may
escape. Leaks are indicated by unusual deposits on the battery or on the
unit as well as unusual or pungent smell. In such a case, switch off the unit
and dispatch it to the service department.
Protect yourself against adverse health effects from leaky batteries (e.g.
skin irritation, cauterisation or poisoning) by avoiding direct skin contact
with the escaped electrolyte and by not inhaling leaking gases. In case of
doubt, consult a doctor!
Switch off the handset prior to dispatch or an extended storage period.
Store or dispatch the handset and the battery in suitable, non-conductive
packaging. Use the original packagings if possible. A battery charge of
roughly 30 % is the optimum for storing the battery. During extended sto-
rage periods, the handset battery should be recharged to around 30 % of
its capacity every 6 to 24 months. The battery storage temperature for ex-
tended storage periods should be below the usual indoor temperature, e.g.
between 0 °C and 15 °C.
Do not throw the battery into the fire as it might explode.
The contact surfaces of the battery must not be short-circuited by touching
them with conductive objects (metal, wire, tools, coins, electrically conduc-
tive packaging material). Connecting the contact surfaces of the battery
with one another by a conductive material will result in discharging the bat-
tery.
The rechargeable battery is a wearing part. Due to aging and normal use
as well as due to a long term storage, a lithium ion battery slowly will decre-
ase its initial capacity. Such capacity losses are normal and will not give
rise to a warranty claim.
