Battery information

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, buy a new battery. Use only Nokia approved batteries,
and recharge your battery only with Nokia approved chargers designated for this device.
Unplug the charger from the electrical plug and the device when not in use. Do not leave the battery connected to a charger.
Overcharging may shorten its 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.
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.
Leaving the battery in hot or cold places, such as in a closed car in summer or winter conditions, will reduce the capacity and
lifetime of the battery. Always try to keep the battery between 15°C and 25°C (59°F and 77°F). A device with a hot or cold battery
may not work temporarily, even when the battery is fully charged. Battery performance is particularly limited in temperatures
well below freezing.
Do not dispose of batteries in a fire! Dispose of batteries according to local regulations. Please recycle when possible. Do not
dispose as household waste.
