16. 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 the 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.
To prolong battery life of NiMh
batteries, discharge the battery from
time to time by leaving your device
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.
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.
