Completely drain the battery before recharging. It may take one to four days to completely drain.
Store the discharged battery in a cool, dark, and dry place.
Purchase a new battery when its operating time gradually decreases after fully charging.
Properly dispose of the battery according to local regulations.
DON’Ts
Don’t attempt to disassemble the battery – it is a sealed unit with no serviceable parts.
Don’t expose the battery terminals to any other metal object (e.g., by carrying it in your pocket or purse 
with other metallic objects such as coins, clips and pens).  This can short circuit and critically damage 
the battery.
Don’t leave the battery in hot or cold temps. Otherwise, it could significantly reduce the capacity and 
lifetime of the battery.
Don’t dispose of the battery into a fire.
Lithium ion batteries are recyclable. When you replace the removable battery, please request the repair center 
to recycle the battery in accordance with RBRC standards. When disposing of the battery by yourself, please 
call RBRC at (800) 822-8837 for proper disposal tips.
Never touch any fluid that might leak from the built-in battery. Such liquid when in contact with the eyes or 
skin, could cause injury to the skin or eyes. Should the liquid come into contact with the eyes, irrigate the 
eyes thoroughly with clean water and immediately seek medical attention. In the event the liquid comes into 
contact with the skin or clothing, wash it away immediately with clean water. 
Adapter/Charger
Use the Correct External Power Source
A product should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the electrical ratings label. If 
you are not sure of the type of power source required, consult your authorized service provider or local power 
company. For a product that operates from battery power or other sources, refer to the operating instructions 
that are included with the product.
The AC Adapter/Charger designed by TELUS for this unit requires the use of a standard 120 V AC power source 
for device operation.
Never attempt to disassemble or repair an AC adapter/charger. Never use an AC adapter/charger if it has 
a damaged or worn power cord or plug. Always contact a TELUS authorized service center, if repair or 
replacement is required.
Never alter the AC cord or plug on an AC adapter/charger. If the plug will not fit into the available outlet, have 
a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
Never allow any liquids or water to spill on an AC adapter/charger when it is connected to an AC power 
source.
Always use the authorized TELUS AC adapter/charger to avoid any risk of bodily injury or damage to your 
cellular phone or battery. 
Never attempt to connect or disconnect the AC adapter/charger with wet hands. Always unplug the AC 
adapter/charger from the power source before attempting any cleaning. Always use a soft cloth dampened 
with water to clean the equipment, after it has been unplugged.
Handling the cord on this product or cords associated with accessories sold with this product, will expose you

hands after handling.
Always disconnect the travel charger or desktop charger from the power source when it is not in use.
