Battery and charger information
Your device is powered by a rechargeable battery. The battery intended for use with this device is BL-5J. Nokia may make
additional battery models available for this device. This device is intended for use when supplied with power from the following
chargers: AC-3. The exact charger model number may vary depending on the type of plug. The plug variant is identified by one
of the following: E, EB, X, AR, U, A, C, K, or UB.
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, replace the battery. Use only Nokia approved batteries, and recharge your battery only with
Nokia approved chargers designated for this device.
If a battery is being used for the first time or if the battery has not been used for a prolonged period, it may be necessary to
connect the charger, then disconnect and reconnect it to begin charging the battery. If the battery is completely discharged, it
may take several minutes before the charging indicator appears on the display or before any calls can be made.
Safe removal. Always switch the device off and disconnect the charger before removing the battery.
Proper charging. Unplug the charger from the electrical plug and the device when not in use. Do not leave a fully charged battery
connected to a charger, since overcharging may shorten its lifetime. If left unused, a fully charged battery will lose its charge
over time.
Avoid extreme temperatures. Always try to keep the battery between 59°F and 77°F (15°C and 25°C). Extreme temperatures
reduce the capacity and lifetime of the battery. A device with a hot or cold battery may not work temporarily. Battery
performance is particularly limited in temperatures well below freezing.
Do not short-circuit. 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.
Disposal. Do not dispose of batteries in a fire as they may explode. Dispose of batteries according to local regulations. Please
recycle when possible. Do not dispose as household waste.
Leak. Do not dismantle, cut, open, crush, bend, puncture, or shred cells or batteries. In the event of a battery leak, prevent
battery liquid contact with skin or eyes. If this happens, flush the affected areas immediately with water, or seek medical help.
Damage. 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.
Correct use. Use the battery only for its intended purpose. Improper battery use may result in a fire, explosion, or other hazard.
If the device or battery is dropped, especially on a hard surface, and you believe the battery has been damaged, take it to a
service center for inspection before continuing to use it. Never use any charger or battery that is damaged. Keep your battery
out of the reach of small children.
