HTC Hero Manuel D’Utilisation

Your device uses a removable and rechargeable lithium ion battery. Please contact customer service for 
assistance should you need a replacement battery. 

DOs

䢇

Only use the battery and charger approved by the manufacturer.

䢇

Only use the battery for its original purpose.

䢇

Try to keep batteries in a temperature between 41°F (5°C) and 95°F (35°C).

䢇

If the battery is stored in temperatures above or below the recommended range, give it time to warm up or 
cool down before using.

䢇

Completely drain the battery before recharging. It may take one to four days to completely drain.

䢇

Store the discharged battery in a cool, dark, and dry place.

䢇

Purchase a new battery when its operating time gradually decreases after fully charging.

䢇

Properly dispose of the battery according to local regulations.

DON’Ts

䢇

Don’t attempt to disassemble the battery – it is a sealed unit with no serviceable parts.

䢇

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.

䢇

Don’t leave the battery in hot or cold temps. Otherwise, it could significantly reduce the capacity and 
lifetime of the battery.

䢇

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. 

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 phone charger designed by Sprint 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 phone charger. Never use an AC phone charger if it has a 
damaged or worn power cord or plug. Always contact a Sprint authorized service center, if repair or 
replacement is required.

Never alter the AC cord or plug on an AC phone charger. If the plug will not fit into the available outlet, have 
a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
