Battery information
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 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.
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.
