Battery and charger information
Your device is intended for use with a BL-5CB
rechargeable battery. Nokia may make
additional battery models available for this
device. Always use original Nokia batteries.
This device is intended for use when supplied
with power from the following chargers:
AC-3. The exact Nokia charger model number
may vary depending on the plug type,
identified by E, X, AR, U, A, C, K, or B.
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.
Important: Talk and standby times
are estimates only. Actual times are affected
by, for example, network conditions, device
settings, features being used, battery
condition, and temperature.
Battery safety
Always switch the device off and disconnect
the charger before removing the battery.
When you unplug a charger or an accessory,
hold and pull the plug, not the cord.
When your charger is not in use, unplug it
from the electrical plug and the device. Do
not leave a fully charged battery connected
to a charger, as overcharging may shorten
the battery’s lifetime. If left unused, a fully
charged battery will lose its charge over time.
Always keep the battery between 15°C and
25°C (59°F and 77°F). Extreme temperatures
reduce the capacity and lifetime of the
battery. A device with a hot or cold battery
may not work temporarily.
Accidental short-circuiting can happen when
a metallic object touches the metal strips on
the battery, for example, if you carry a spare
battery in your pocket. Short-circuiting may
damage the battery or the connecting object.
Do not dispose of batteries in a fire as they
may explode. Dispose of batteries according
to local regulations. Recycle when possible.
Do not dispose as household waste.
Do not dismantle, cut, open, crush, bend,
puncture, or shred cells or batteries. If a
battery leaks, do not let battery liquid touch
skin or eyes. If this happens, immediately
flush the affected areas with water, or seek
medical help.
