6. 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, buy a new battery. Use only Nokia
approved batteries, and recharge your battery only with Nokia approved
chargers designated for this device.

Unplug the charger from the electrical plug and the device when not in
use. Do not leave the battery connected to a charger. Overcharging may
shorten its lifetime. If left unused, a fully charged battery will lose its
charge over time. Temperature extremes can affect the ability of your
battery to charge.

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.
