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.
