Battery Information
For battery installation and replacement, see “Using Your Phone’s Battery
and Charger” on page 21.
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.
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. 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.
Note: Be sure to dispose of your battery properly. In some
areas, the disposal of batteries in household or
business trash may be prohibited.
