Battery information

Your device is powered by a rechargeable battery. The

full performance of a new battery is achieved only after

two or three complete charge and discharge cycles. The

battery can be charged and discharged hundreds of

times, but it will eventually wear out. When the talk and

standby times are noticeably shorter than normal, buy

a new battery. Use only Nokia approved batteries, and

recharge your battery only with Nokia approved

chargers designated for this device.
Unplug the charger from the electrical plug and the

device when not in use. Do not leave fully charged

battery connected to a charger, since overcharging may

shorten its lifetime. If left unused, a fully charged

battery will lose its charge over time.
If the battery is completely discharged, it may take a

few minutes before the charging indicator appears on

the display or before any calls can be made.
Use the battery only for its intended purpose. Never use

any charger or battery that is damaged.
Do not short-circuit the battery. Accidental short-

circuiting can occur when a metallic object such as a

coin, clip, or pen causes direct connection of the positive

(+) and negative (-) terminals of the battery. (These look

like metal strips on the battery.) This might happen, for

example, when you carry a spare battery in your pocket

or purse. Short-circuiting the terminals may damage

the battery or the connecting object.
Leaving the battery in hot or cold places, such as in a

closed car in summer or winter conditions, will reduce

the capacity and lifetime of the battery. Always try to

keep the battery between 15°C and 25°C (59°F and 77°

F). A device with a hot or cold battery may not work

temporarily, even when the battery is fully charged.

Battery performance is particularly limited in

temperatures well below freezing.
Do not dispose of batteries in a fire as they may explode.

Batteries may also explode if damaged. Dispose of

batteries according to local regulations. Please recycle

when possible. Do not dispose as household waste.
