About the battery
Your phone has an internal, nonremovable, rechargeable battery. Use only Nokia
approved chargers designated for this phone. You can also use a compatible USB
cable to charge your phone (included).
You can set your phone to automatically save power when the battery charge level is
low. Select
> and battery saver > Always turn on Battery Saver when battery
is low.
When your phone goes into battery saver mode, you may not be able to change the
settings of all apps.
10 Get started
Do not attempt to remove the battery from the device. To replace the battery, take
the device to your nearest authorised service facility.
Authorised retail points may also offer a battery replacement service.
Important: Only qualified personnel or an authorised service facility should replace
the battery. Unauthorised battery replacement may invalidate your warranty.
Charge the battery
Your battery has been partially charged at the factory, but you may need to recharge
it before you can switch on your phone for the first time.
You do not need to charge the battery for a specific length of time, and you can use
the phone while it is charging.
If your phone is off when you start to charge the phone, it automatically switches on.
Make sure you use a compatible USB charger to charge your phone.
If the phone indicates a low charge, do the following:
Charge from a wall outlet
1 First connect the USB cable to the charger, plug the charger into a wall outlet,
then connect the micro-USB end of the USB cable to your phone.
2 When the battery is full, unplug the charger from the phone, then from the wall
outlet.
Get started 11
To avoid breaking the USB cable connector, be careful when connecting or
disconnecting the charger cable.
Charge from a computer
You can use USB charging when a wall outlet is not available. Data can be transferred
while charging the device. The efficiency of USB charging power varies significantly,
and it may take a long time for charging to start and the device to start functioning.
1 First connect the USB cable to the computer, then to your phone.
12 Get started
2 When the battery is full, first unplug the USB cable from your phone, then from
the computer.
If the battery is completely discharged, it may take several minutes before the
charging indicator is displayed or before any calls can be made.
If the battery has not been used for a long time, to begin charging, you may need to
connect the charger, then disconnect and reconnect it.
Antenna locations

affects the communication quality and may reduce battery life due to higher power
level during operation.
The antenna area is highlighted.
