14. Battery information
This section provides information about your device’s batteries,
enhancements, chargers, safety guidelines and technical information. Be
aware that the information in this section is subject to change as batteries,
chargers, and enhancements change.
■ Charging and discharging
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, replace the battery. Use only Nokia
approved batteries, and recharge your battery only with Nokia approved
chargers designated for this device.
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.
Use the battery only for its intended purpose. Never use any charger or
battery that is damaged.
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.
Leaving the battery in hot or cold places, such as in a closed car in summer
or winter conditions, will reduce the capacity and lifetime of the battery
and its ability to charge. Always try to keep the battery between 15°C and
25°C (59°F and 77°F). A device with a hot or cold battery may not work
temporarily, even when the battery is fully charged. Battery performance
is particularly limited in temperatures well below freezing.
