Battery and charger information

Battery and charger
information
Your device is powered by a rechargeable battery. The
battery intended for use with this device is BP-4L.
Nokia may make additional battery models available
for this device. This device is intended for use when
supplied with power from the following chargers:
AC-10. The exact charger model number may vary
depending on the type of plug. The plug variant is
identified by one of the following: E, EB, X, AR, U, A, C,
K, or UB.
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 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. If the battery is completely discharged, it may
take several minutes before the charging indicator
appears on the display or before any calls can be made.
Safe removal. Always switch the device off and
disconnect the charger before removing the battery.
Proper charging. 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.
Avoid extreme temperatures. Always try to keep the
battery between 59°F and 77°F (15°C and 25°C).
Extreme temperatures reduce the capacity and lifetime
of the battery. A device with a hot or cold battery may
not work temporarily. Battery performance is
particularly limited in temperatures well below
freezing.
Do not short-circuit. 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.
Disposal. Do not dispose of batteries in a fire as they
may explode. Dispose of batteries according to local
regulations. Please recycle when possible. Do not
dispose as household waste.
