device. This device is intended for use when supplied with power from the following

chargers: AC-8E. The exact charger model number may vary depending on the type

of plug. The plug variant is identified by one of the following: E, EB, X, AR, U, A, C, K,

or UB.
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 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. If the battery is completely discharged,

it may take several minutes before the charging indicator appears on the display or

before any calls can be made.
Safe removal. Always switch the device off and disconnect the charger before

removing the battery.
Proper charging. Unplug the charger from the electrical plug and the device when

not in use. Do not leave a 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.
Avoid extreme temperatures. Always try to keep the battery between 59°F and 77°F

(15°C and 25°C). Extreme temperatures reduce the capacity and lifetime of the

battery. A device with a hot or cold battery may not work temporarily. Battery

performance is particularly limited in temperatures well below freezing.
Do not short-circuit. 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.
Disposal. Do not dispose of batteries in a fire as they may explode. Dispose of

batteries according to local regulations. Please recycle when possible. Do not

dispose as household waste.
