Question What is the best way to keep your telephone from failing. I was told that you can train your hand set phone by keeping it off the charger. (My thoughts are to keep it on the charger when not in use.) Also, someone said that if you boot your cell phone battery, you should boot it to its capacity. If you remove it prematurly then it will not boot to its capacity again. Thank you in advance.
Answer Hi! Sorry it took so long to answer. I was in the hospital for minor surgery. No biggie. Anyway, I'm not sure what you mean by 'failing'(or training), but I DO know that the first time you use your cellphone (after the initial charge), you should let the battery run completely out before recharging. I would imagine portable landline handsets are the same.
That sounds pretty much like what you said you were told, as far as I can tell. If I didn't answer your question, feel free to ask again. ;-)
