19. 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.
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 a few 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.
