Charging and discharging
Your device is powered by a rechargeable battery.
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 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 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.
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.
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.
Leaving the battery in hot or cold places, such as in
a closed car in summer or winter conditions, will
reduce the capacity and lifetime of the battery.
Always try to keep the battery between 15°C and
25°C (59°F and 77°F). A device with a hot or cold
battery may not work temporarily, even when the
battery is fully charged. Battery performance is
particularly limited in temperatures well below
freezing.
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.
