Battery and charger information

This device has an internal,
nonremovable, rechargeable battery.
Do not attempt to remove the battery
from the device as you may damage
the device. This device is intended for
use when supplied with power from
the following chargers: AC-3, AC-4,
AC-5, AC-8, DC-4, and DC-9. The
exact charger model number may
vary depending on the type of plug.
The plug variant is identified by one
of the following: E, EB, X, AR, U, A, C,
or UB. The battery can be charged
and discharged hundreds of times,
but it will eventually wear out.
Recharge your battery only with
Nokia approved chargers designated
for this device. Use of an unapproved
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 light is displayed.

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.

Always try to 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.
Battery performance is particularly
limited in temperatures well below
freezing.

Do not dispose of batteries in a fire as
they may explode. Batteries may also
explode if damaged.

Never use any charger that is
damaged.

Important: Charging
capacity is an estimate
only and depends on
battery age and condition
and on temperatures to
which battery is exposed.
