Battery and charger information
Battery and charger information
Your device is powered by a rechargeable battery. The
battery intended for use with this device is BP-5M. This
device is intended for use when supplied with power from
the following chargers: AC-3, AC-4, AC-5 or DC-4 chargers
and CA-44 charging adapter. 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, replace the battery. Use only Nokia
approved batteries, and recharge your battery only with
Nokia approved chargers designated for this device. Use of
an unapproved battery or 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 appears on the display or before any
calls can be made.
Always switch the device off and disconnect the charger
before removing the battery.
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 short-circuit the battery. Accidental short-
circuiting can occur when a metallic object such as a coin,
clip, or pen causes direct connection of the positive (+) and
negative (-) terminals of the battery. (These look like metal
strips on the battery.) This might happen, for example,
when you carry a spare battery in your pocket or purse.
Short-circuiting the terminals may damage the battery or
the connecting object.
Do not dispose of batteries in a fire as they may explode.
Batteries may also explode if damaged. Dispose of
batteries according to local regulations. Please recycle
when possible. Do not dispose as household waste.
Do not dismantle, cut, open, crush, bend, deform, puncture,
or shred cells or batteries. In the event of a battery leak, do
not allow the liquid to come in contact with the skin or
