18. Battery and charger information
Your device is powered by a rechargeable battery. The battery intended
for use with this device is BL-4C. 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-6. 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.
