Battery and charger information

Your device is powered by a rechargeable battery. The

battery intended for use with this device is BL-4S. This

device is intended for use when supplied with power from

the following chargers: AC-3. 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. Use of

an unapproved battery or charger may present a risk of fire,

explosion, leakage, or other hazard.
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, or UB.
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.
Always switch the device off and disconnect the charger

before removing 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.
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.
