Battery and charger information
Your device is powered by a rechargeable battery. The battery
intended for use with this device is BL-5CT. Nokia may make
additional battery models available for this device. This
device is intended for use when supplied with power from
the following chargers: AC-8. 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.
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.
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.
