Product and safety information
Take care of your device
Handle your device, charger and accessories with care. The following suggestions help you protect your warranty coverage.
• Keep the device dry. Precipitation, humidity, and all types of liquids or moisture can contain minerals that corrode
electronic circuits. If your device gets wet, allow the device to dry.
• Do not use or store the device in dusty or dirty areas. Moving parts and electronic components can be damaged.
• Do not store the device in high temperatures. High temperatures can shorten the life of the device, damage the
battery, and warp or melt plastics.

6
• Do not store the device in cold temperatures. When the device warms to its normal temperature, moisture can form
inside the device and damage electronic circuits.
• Do not attempt to open the device.
• Unauthorised modifications may damage the device and violate regulations governing radio devices.
• Do not drop, knock, or shake the device. Rough handling can break internal circuit boards and mechanics.
• Only use a soft, clean, dry cloth to clean the surface of the device.
• Do not paint the device. Paint can clog moving parts and prevent proper operation.
Recycle
Always return your used electronic products, batteries, and packaging materials to dedicated collection points. This way
you help prevent uncontrolled waste disposal and promote the recycling of materials. .
Crossed-out wheeled-bin symbol
The crossed-out wheeled-bin symbol on your product, battery, literature, or packaging reminds you that all electrical and
electronic products, batteries, and accumulators must be taken to separate collection at the end of their working life. This
requirement applies in the European Union. Do not dispose of these products as unsorted municipal waste. For more
environmental information, see the product Eco profile at www.nokia.com/ecoprofile.
Batteries and chargers
Battery and charger information
Your device has an internal, non-removable, rechargeable battery. Do not attempt to remove the battery, as you may
damage the device.
This device is intended for use when supplied with power from a Nokia micro-USB charger, car charger, or USB cable
connected to a PC.
The battery can be charged and discharged hundreds of times, but it will eventually wear out.
Battery safety
Note: The battery in your device is non-removable, so refer to the battery-related statements as applicable to your
device.
When you unplug a charger or an accessory, hold and pull the plug, not the cord.
When your charger is not in use, unplug it from the electrical plug and the device. Do not leave a fully charged battery
connected to a charger, as overcharging may shorten the battery’s lifetime. If left unused, a fully charged battery will lose
its charge over time.
Always 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.
Do not dispose of batteries in a fire as they may explode. Dispose of batteries according to local regulations. Recycle when
possible. Do not dispose as hous ehold waste.
Do not dismantle, cut, open, crus h, bend, puncture, or shred cells or batteries. If a battery leaks, do not let battery liquid
touch skin or eyes. If this happens, immediately flush the affected areas 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. Batteries may explode if damaged.
Use the battery and charger for their intended purposes only. Improper use, or use of unapproved batteries or incompatible
chargers may present a risk of fire, explosion, or other hazard, and may invalidate any approval or warranty. If you believe
the battery or charger is damaged, take it to a service centre for inspection before continuing to use it. Never use a damaged
battery or charger. Only use the charger indoors.
