15. 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 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.
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
