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, replace the 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 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.
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 and its ability to charge. 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.

Nokia battery authentication guidelines

Always use original Nokia batteries for your safety. To check that you are getting an original
Nokia battery, purchase it from an authorized Nokia dealer, look for the Nokia Original
Enhancements logo on the packaging, and inspect the hologram label using the following steps:
Successful completion of the four steps is not a total assurance of the authenticity of the battery.
If you have any reason to believe that your battery is not an authentic original Nokia battery,
you should refrain from using it and take it to the nearest authorized Nokia service point or
dealer for assistance. Your authorized Nokia service point or dealer will inspect the battery
for authenticity. If authenticity cannot be verified, return the battery to the place of purchase.
