4. Battery information

Your Nokia Wireless GPS Module 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
operating and standby times are noticeably shorter than normal, buy a
new battery. Use only Nokia approved batteries, and recharge batteries
only with Nokia approved chargers designated for this.
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, a clip or a 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.
