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, replace the battery. Use only Nokia
approved batteries, and recharge your battery only with Nokia approved chargers
designated for this device.
If a replacement battery is being used for the first time or if the battery has not been used
for a prolonged period, it may be necessary to connect the charger then disconnect and
reconnect it to begin charging the battery.
Unplug the charger from the electrical plug and the device when not in use. Do not leave a
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.
To prolong battery life of NiMh batteries, discharge the battery from time to time by leaving
your device switched on until it turns itself off. Do not attempt to discharge the battery by
any other means.
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
