Battery Safety and Disposal
The BlackBerry
®
device contains a removable lithium-ion battery. Do not dispose of either the BlackBerry
device or the lithium-ion battery in a fire. Dispose of the lithium-ion battery in accordance with the laws
and regulations in your area governing disposal of such cell types.
The lithium-ion battery might present a fire or chemical burn hazard if mistreated. Do not disassemble,
crush, or puncture the lithium-ion battery. Do not heat the lithium-ion battery above 140°F (60°C). Do not
allow metal objects to contact the battery terminals.
Use only the lithium-ion battery that Research In Motion specifies for use with your particular BlackBerry
device model. RIM specifies lithium-ion batteries for use in BlackBerry devices in compliance with IEEE
®
Std 1725™-200x. Using any other lithium-ion battery might invalidate any warranty provided with the
BlackBerry device and might present a risk of fire or explosion.
Children should not handle batteries unless they are supervised by an adult.
When this icon appears on your BlackBerry device, the lithium-ion battery is not inserted
or an invalid lithium-ion battery is inserted. If you have inserted an invalid lithium-ion
battery, remove it immediately and insert the lithium-ion battery that RIM specifies for use
with your particular BlackBerry device model. If you have inserted the lithium-ion battery
that is specified for use with your particular BlackBerry device model, remove and reinsert
the lithium-ion battery. Verify that the battery connectors align with the connectors on your
BlackBerry device.
Device Disposal
The BlackBerry
®
device should not be placed in household waste bins. Please check local
