Charging and discharging

• 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 the battery connected to a charger. Overcharging may

• Temperature extremes can affect the ability of your battery to charge.
• To prolong battery life of NiMh batteries, discharge the battery from
time to time by leaving your headset switched on until it turns itself
off. Do not attempt to discharge the battery by any other means.
• Use the battery only for its intended purpose. Never use any charger or
battery that is damaged.

summer or winter conditions, will reduce the capacity and lifetime of
