16. Battery and charger information
■ Charging and discharging
Your device is powered by a rechargeable battery. The battery intended for use with
this device is the BL-5C. This device is intended for use when supplied with power
from the following chargers: AC-3U, AC-4U, or AC-5U. 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. Use only replacement batteries qualified with
the device per the IEEE-1725-2006 standard. Use of other batteries or chargers
may present a risk of fire, explosion, leakage, or other hazard.
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.
Always switch the device off and disconnect the charger before removing the battery.
Unplug the charger from the electrical plug and the device when not in use. Do not
leave 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.
Always try to keep the battery between 15ºC and 25ºC (59ºF and 77ºF). 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 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.
Do not dispose of batteries in a fire as they may explode. Batteries may also explode
if damaged. Dispose of batteries according to local regulations. Please recycle when
possible. Do not dispose as household waste.
Do not dismantle, cut, open, crush, bend, deform, puncture, or shred cells or batteries.
In the event of a battery leak, do not allow the liquid to come in contact with the
skin or eyes. In the event of such a leak, flush your skin or eyes immediately with
water, or seek medical help.
