Battery Information
For battery installation and replacement, see “Using Your Phone’s Battery
and Charger” on page 20.
Your device is powered by a rechargeable battery. The full performance of a
new battery is achieved only after two or three complete charge and
discharge cycles. The battery can be charged and discharged hundreds of
times but it will eventually wear out. When the talk and standby times are
noticeably shorter than normal, buy a new battery. Use only Nokia-
approved batteries, and recharge your battery only with Nokia-approved
chargers designated for this device.
If a replacement 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.
Note:
Be sure to dispose of your battery properly. In some areas,
the disposal of batteries in household or business trash may
be prohibited.
