Battery and charger
information
Your device is powered by a rechargeable battery.
The battery intended for use with this device is
BL-6F . Nokia may make additional battery models
available for this device. This device is intended for
use when supplied with power from the following
chargers: AC-5, AC-8, DC-1, DC-8, 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.
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-
