Battery and charger
information
Your device is powered by a rechargeable battery.
The battery intended for use with this device is
BL-5K. 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-10. 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, K, 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.
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.
Safe removal. Always switch the device off and
disconnect the charger before removing the
battery.
Proper charging. 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.
Avoid extreme temperatures. 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. 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
