• ABOUT THE ANTENNA
2
Your phone has a built-in antenna.
As with any other radio transmitting
device, do not touch the antenna
unnecessarily when the phone is
switched on. Contact with the
antenna affects call quality and may
cause the phone to operate at a higher power level than otherwise
needed. Not touching the antenna area during a call optimizes the
antenna performance and the talk time of your phone.
• ABOUT THE BATTERY

[ 14 ]
REPLACE THE BACK COVER
1 Place the back cover on top of the battery.

Charge the battery
Charge the new battery for three hours
before using the phone. Use the phone until
the battery is fully discharged. You should
do this for a total of three charging cycles.

the lead from the charger to the bottom of the phone.
2 Connect the charger to an AC wall outlet.
If the phone is turned on, the messages, Charger connected and
Charging appear. The battery power indicator bar starts to scroll up

Note:If your service provider has activated your service, you can
use the phone while the battery is charging; however, if the
phone becomes too warm while you’re making a call, it
automatically drops the current call and returns to the Start
screen. You will not be able to make or receive calls until the
phone cools.
After the indicator bar stops scrolling, the battery is approximately 80%
charged, and is fully charged after an additional hour (approximately). See
“Charging and Discharging” on page 145 for more information.
Important: Do not leave the battery connected to a charger for
more than 72 hours, since prolonged maintenance charging could
shorten its lifetime.
Remove the battery
You will need to remove the existing battery if you want to install a new
battery or if you’ve purchased a spare battery. Make sure the phone has
been turned off for ten seconds.
1 Remove the back cover of the phone as shown in step 1 on page 18.
2 Place your index finger in the space at the
bottom of the battery, and press toward the
top of the phone.
3 Take out the battery.
Warning! Use only your hands to remove
the battery. Do not puncture, burn or use any objects that may
damage the phone or the battery. Please recycle the battery, or
dispose of properly.
Important battery information
• Recharge your battery only with a charger approved by Nokia.
• You can switch the phone on and use it for calls while the battery is
charging.
DRAFT
[ 16 ]
• If the battery is totally empty, it may take a few minutes for the
battery indicator to appear on the screen.
• If you switch the phone on when charging is complete, the message
Battery full is displayed momentarily.
• Charging time depends on the charger and battery used. Please
“Battery information” on page 136 for more information.
• If the battery has become completely empty, you may need to
recharge it for a few minutes before you can make or receive calls.
Prolong battery life
A battery lasts longer and performs better if you fully discharge it from
time to time. To discharge your battery, leave your phone switched on
until the battery drains completely. Ignore any messages to recharge your
battery and let the battery completely discharge.
Important: Do not attempt to discharge the battery by any means
other than those just described.
• SWITCH YOUR PHONE ON OR
OFF
To switch your phone on or off, press and hold
the power key (located on the top of the phone)
