15.  Battery information
■ Charging and discharging
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, 
replace the 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 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.
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 and its 
ability to charge. 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
