Introduction

With the Nokia Extra Power DC-8, you can charge the battery of a compatible Nokia device when you have no access to an external power source. The DC-8 device is meant for partial and temporary charging.

Keep all accessories and enhancements out of the reach of small children.

Chargers

Check the model number of any charger before using it with this device. The device is intended for use with the AC-3, AC-4, AC-5, and DC-4 chargers.

Warning : Use only chargers approved by Nokia for use with this particular enhancement. The use of any other types may invalidate any approval or warranty, and may be dangerous.

When you disconnect the power cord of any enhancement, grasp and pull the plug, not the cord.

Install a battery in the DC-8 device

The DC-8 device can be used with an AA alkaline or lithium battery or a rechargeable NiM battery. The DC-8 device detects the battery type automatically.

To install the battery, turn the battery cover (part 1 on the title page) in the direction of the arrow printed on the device, place the battery into the battery compartment with the positive end (+) first, and close the battery cover by turning it in the opposite direction.

During long periods where the DC-8 device is not used, remove the battery to prevent damage from battery leakage.

Charge the battery in the DC-8 device

If the battery in the DC-8 device is rechargeable, connect the charger to a power source, and connect the charger cable (2) to the 2.0 mm charger connector (3). The device first checks whether the battery is compatible, and the indicator light (4) flashes green about every 2 seconds. If the battery is compatible, the device starts to charge it. During charging, the indicator light flashes green about every 1 second. It may take a while before charging starts. If charging does not start, disconnect the charger, plug it in again, and retry. When the battery is

fully charged, the green indicator light stops flashing. The charging time depends on the battery capacity and the used charger.

If the battery in the DC-8 device cannot be charged, the red indicator light is displayed. Check that the battery is rechargeable and the charger is properly connected to the DC-8 device.

To end the charging, unplug the charger cable from the DC-8 device, and disconnect the charger from the power source.

Charge the battery of the other device

To charge a battery of your Nokia device, connect the supplied connectivity cable to the DC-8 device and your device. The indicator light flashes green for about 10 seconds. If the battery in the DC-8 device runs out of power, the indicator light turns off. You can check the charge level from the connected device.

If the DC-8 device cannot charge the battery, the red indicator light is displayed. Check that the other device is properly connected to the D C8 device.

To end the charging, disconnect the cable from the connected device and the DC-8 device.

Care and maintenance

Your device is a product of superior design and craftsmanship and should be treated with care. The following suggestions will help you protect your warranty coverage.

• Keep the device dry. Precipitation, humidity, and all types of liquids or moisture can contain minerals that will corrode electronic circuits. If your device does get wet, remove the battery, and allow the device to dry completely.

• Do not use or store the device in dusty, dirty areas. Its moving parts and electronic components can be damaged.

• Do not store the device in hot areas. High temperatures can shorten the life of electronic devices, damage batteries, and warp or melt certain plastics.

• Do not store the device in cold areas. When the device returns to its normal temperature, moisture can form inside the device and damage electronic circuit boards.

• Do not attempt to open the device other than as instructed in this guide.

• Do not drop, knock, or shake the device. Rough handling can break internal circuit boards and fine mechanics.

• Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents to clean the device.

• Do not paint the device. Paint can clog the moving parts and prevent proper operation.

If the product is not working properly, take it to the nearest authorised service facility for service.
