Nokia Battery Authentication Guidelines - Nokia 6500 slide User Manual

Always try to keep the battery between 15°C and 25°C (59°F and 77°F). 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, 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.
