Battery and charger information
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.
Always try to keep the battery between 15°C and 25°C (59°F and 77°F). 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.
Do not modify, remanufacture, attempt to insert foreign objects into the battery, or immerse
or expose it to water or other liquids.
Improper battery use may result in a fire, explosion, or other hazard. If the device or battery
is dropped, especially on a hard surface, and you believe the battery has been damaged, take
it to a service centre for inspection before continuing to use it.
Use the battery only for its intended purpose. Never use any charger or battery that is
damaged. Keep your battery out of the reach of small children.
■ 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 authorised Nokia dealer, and inspect the hologram label
using the following steps:
Successful completion of the 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 authorised Nokia service
point or dealer for assistance. Your authorised Nokia service point or dealer will inspect the
battery for authenticity. If authenticity cannot be verified, return the battery to the place of
purchase.
