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.

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.
Check the model number of any charger before use with this device. This device is
intended for use when supplied with power from the ACP-12 charger.

lifetime. If left unused, a fully charged battery will lose its charge over time.
Temperature extremes can affect the ability of your battery to charge.
Use the battery only for its intended purpose. Never use any charger or battery
that is damaged.
