20. Battery information
■ 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.
Do not dismantle 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.
