Battery and charger information
Your device is powered by a rechargeable battery. The battery
intended for use with this device is the BL-5B battery. This
device is intended for use when supplied with power from
the following chargers: AC-3 or AC-4. 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.
Use the battery only for its intended purpose. Never use
any charger or battery that is damaged.
Always try to keep the battery between 59°F and 77°F
(15°C and 25°C). 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, and 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.
49
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 center 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.
