Always switch the device off and disconnect the charger before removing the battery.
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.
Always try to keep the battery between 15ºC and 25ºC (59ºF and 77ºF). 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 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.
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.
Do not dismantle, cut, open, crush, bend, deform, puncture, or shred cells or batteries. In the
event of a battery leak, do not allow the liquid to come in contact with the skin or eyes. In the
event of such a leak, flush your skin or eyes immediately with water, or seek medical help.
Do not modify or remanufacture, attempt to insert foreign objects into the battery or
immerse or expose it to water or other liquids.
Improper battery use may result in a fire, explosion, or other hazard. If the device or battery
is dropped, especially on a hard surface, and you believe the battery has been damaged, take
it to a service center for inspection before continuing to use it.
Use the battery only for its intended purpose. Never use any charger or battery that is
damaged. Keep your battery out of the reach of small children.

Nokia battery 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, and inspect the hologram label
using the following steps:
Successful completion of the 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.
