17. Battery and charger information
■ Charging and discharging
Your device is powered by a rechargeable battery. The battery intended for use with this 
device is BP-5M. This device is intended for use when supplied with power from the 
following chargers: AC-3, AC-4, AC-5 and DC-4 and CA-44 charging adapter. 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, explosition, 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 your skin or eyes immediately with water, or seek medical 
help.
Do not modify, remanufacture, attempt to insert foreign objects into the battery, or immerse 
or expose it to water or other liquids.
