Charging and discharging

Your device is powered by a rechargeable battery. 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 replacement 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.
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.
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.
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 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 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 your

skin or eyes immediately with water, or seek medical help.
