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.
