Reference Information

• BATTERY INFORMATION

Charging and discharging
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 the battery connected to a charger. Overcharging may shorten its
lifetime. If left unused, a fully charged battery will lose its charge over time.
Temperature extremes can affect the ability of your battery to charge.
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 59°F and 77°F (15°C and 25°C). 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! Dispose of batteries according to local
regulations. Please recycle when possible. Do not dispose as household waste.
BL-5C Talk time,
Standby time
BL-5C Charging time
(approximate)
Battery talk and standby times are estimates only and depend on signal strength,
network conditions, features used, battery age and condition (including the
effect of charging habits), temperatures to which battery is exposed, use in digital
mode, and many other factors. Please note that the amount of time a phone is
used for calls will affect its standby time. Likewise, the amount of time that the
phone is turned on and in standby mode will affect its talk–time.
Talk–time: up to 4.5 hours
Standby time: up to 10 days
ACP-7U Charger—3 hours
ACP-12U Charger—1 hour, 30 min.
