Battery and charger
information
Your device is powered by a rechargeable battery. The
battery intended for use with this device is BP-4L. Nokia
may make additional battery models available for this
device. This device is intended for use when supplied with
power from the following chargers: AC-8, AC-10. The exact
charger model number may vary depending on the type
of plug. The plug variant is identified by one of the
following: E, EB, X, AR, U, A, C, K, or UB.
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 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.
Safe removal. Always switch the device off and disconnect
the charger before removing the battery.
Proper charging. 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.
Avoid extreme temperatures. Always try to keep the
battery between 59°F and 77°F (15°C and 25°C). 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. 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.
Disposal. Do not dispose of batteries in a fire as they may
explode. Dispose of batteries according to local
regulations. Please recycle when possible. Do not dispose
as household waste.
Leak. Do not dismantle, cut, open, crush, bend, puncture,
or shred cells or batteries. In the event of a battery leak,
prevent battery liquid contact with skin or eyes. If this
happens, flush the affected areas immediately with water,
or seek medical help.
