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.

authentication guidelines
Always use original Nokia batteries for your safety. To
check that you are getting an original Nokia battery,
purchase it from an authorized Nokia dealer, look for
the Nokia Original Enhancements logo on the
packaging, and inspect the hologram label using the
following steps:
Successful completion of the four steps is not a total
assurance of the authenticity of the battery. If you have
any reason to believe that your battery is not an
authentic original Nokia battery, you should refrain
from using it, and take it to the nearest authorized
Nokia service point or dealer for assistance. Your
authorized Nokia service point or dealer will inspect the
battery for authenticity. If authenticity cannot be
verified, return the battery to the place of purchase.
