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.
