Battery and charger information

Your device is powered by a rechargeable battery. The
battery intended for use with this device is BL-5F. 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-8. 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, or UB. For example,
the model numbers for the charger can be, among
others, AC-8X etc.
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. Use of an
unapproved battery or charger may present a risk of
fire, explosion, leakage, or other hazard.
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.
Always switch the device off and disconnect the
charger before removing the battery.
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.
Always try to 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. Battery
performance is particularly limited in temperatures
well below freezing.
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.
Do not dispose of batteries in a fire as they may
explode. Batteries may also explode if damaged.
Dispose of batteries according to local regulations.
Please recycle when possible. Do not dispose as
household waste.
Do not dismantle, cut, open, crush, bend, deform,
puncture, or shred cells or batteries. In the event of a
battery leak, do not allow the liquid to come in contact
with the skin or eyes. In the event of such a leak, flush
