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, buy a new battery. Use only 
Nokia approved batteries, and recharge your battery only with 
Nokia approved chargers designated for this device.
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 the battery connected to a 
charger. Overcharging may shorten its lifetime. If left unused, 
a fully charged battery will lose its charge over time. 
Temperature extremes can affect the ability of your battery to 
charge.
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! Dispose of batteries 
according to local regulations. Please recycle when possible. 
Do not dispose as household waste.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Your device is a product of superior design and craftsmanship 
and should be treated with care. The suggestions below will 
help you protect your warranty coverage.
Keep the device dry. Precipitation, humidity and all types 
of liquids or moisture can contain minerals that will 
corrode electronic circuits. If your device does get wet, 
remove the battery and allow the device to dry completely 
before replacing it.
Do not use or store the device in dusty, dirty areas. Its 
moving parts and electronic components can be damaged.
Do not store the device in hot areas. High temperatures 
can shorten the life of electronic devices, damage 
batteries, and warp or melt certain plastics.
