Battery safety
Always switch the device off and disconnect the charger
before removing the battery. When you unplug a charger or
an accessory, hold and pull the plug, not the cord.
When your charger is not in use, unplug it from the electrical
plug and the device. Do not leave a fully charged battery
connected to a charger, as overcharging may shorten the
battery's lifetime. If left unused, a fully charged battery will
lose its charge over time.
Always keep the battery between 15°C and 25°C (59°F and
77°F). Extreme temperatures reduce the capacity and lifetime
of the battery. A device with a hot or cold battery may not
work temporarily.
Accidental short-circuiting can happen when a metallic object
touches the metal strips on the battery, for example, if you
carry a spare battery in your pocket. Short-circuiting may
damage the battery or the connecting object.
Do not dispose of batteries in a fire as they may explode.
Dispose of batteries according to local regulations. Recycle
when possible. Do not dispose as household waste.
Do not dismantle, cut, open, crush, bend, puncture, or shred
cells or batteries. If a battery leaks, do not let battery liquid
touch skin or eyes. If this happens, immediately flush the
affected areas with water, or seek medical help.
Do not modify, remanufacture, attempt to insert foreign
objects into the battery, or immerse or expose it to water or
other liquids. Batteries may explode if damaged.
Use the battery and charger for their intended purposes only.
Improper use, or use of unapproved batteries or incompatible
chargers may present a risk of fire, explosion, or other hazard,
and may invalidate any approval or warranty. If you believe
the battery or charger is damaged, take it to a service centre
for inspection before continuing to use it. Never use a
damaged battery or charger. Only use the charger indoors.
Nokia battery authentication guidelines
Always use original Nokia batteries for your safety. To help
ensure that you are getting an original Nokia battery,
purchase it from a Nokia authorised service centre or dealer,
and check the hologram label.

Product and safety information
Authenticate hologram
1 Look at the hologram. You should see the Nokia
connecting hands symbol from one angle and the Nokia
Original Accessories logo from the other angle.
2 Angle the hologram left, right, down, and up. You
should see 1, 2, 3 and 4 dots on each side respectively.
However, this is not a total assurance of the authenticity of
the battery. If you cannot confirm authenticity or if you have
any reason to believe that your Nokia battery with the
hologram on the label is not an authentic Nokia battery, stop
using the battery and take it to the nearest Nokia authorised
service centre or dealer.
For additional information, refer to the warranty and
reference leaflet included with your Nokia device.
