Accessories
Warning: Use only batteries, chargers, and accessories approved by Nokia
for use with this particular model. The use of any other types may invalidate any
approval or warranty, and may be dangerous.
For availability of approved accessories, please check with your dealer. When you
disconnect the power cord of any accessory, grasp and pull the plug, not the cord.
Battery
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-3. 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
© 2008 Nokia. All rights reserved. 13

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 eyes. In the event of such a leak, flush your skin or eyes immediately
with water, or seek medical help.
Do not modify, remanufacture, attempt to insert foreign objects into the battery,
or immerse or expose it to water or other liquids.
Improper battery use may result in a fire, explosion, or other hazard. If the device
or battery is dropped, especially on a hard surface, and you believe the battery has
been damaged, take it to a service center for inspection before continuing to use
it.
Use the battery only for its intended purpose. Never use any charger or battery that
is damaged. Keep your battery out of the reach of small children.
Nokia battery authentication guidelines
Always use original Nokia batteries for your safety. To check that you are getting
an original Nokia battery, purchase it from a Nokia authorized service center or
dealer, and inspect the hologram label using the following steps:
© 2008 Nokia. All rights reserved.14

Successful completion of the steps is not a total assurance of the authenticity of the
battery. If you have any reason to believe that your battery is not an authentic,
original Nokia battery, you should refrain from using it, and take it to the nearest
Nokia authorized service center or dealer for assistance. If authenticity cannot be
verified, return the battery to the place of purchase.
Authenticate hologram
1. When you look at the hologram on the label, you should see
the Nokia connecting hands symbol from one angle and the
Nokia Original Enhancements logo when looking from
another angle.
2. When you angle the hologram left, right, down and up, you
should see 1, 2, 3 and 4 dots on each side respectively.
What if your battery is not authentic?
If you cannot confirm that your Nokia battery with the hologram on the label is an
authentic Nokia battery, please do not use the battery. Take it to the nearest Nokia
authorized service center or dealer for assistance. The use of a battery that is not
approved by Nokia may be dangerous and may result in poor performance and
damage to your device and its accessories. It may also invalidate any approval or
warranty applying to the device.
For additional information, refer to the warranty and reference leaflet included with
your Nokia device.

© 2008 Nokia. All rights reserved.16

These suggestions apply equally to your device, battery, charger, or any
enhancement. If any device is not working properly, take it to the nearest
authorized service facility for service.
Disposal
The crossed-out wheeled-bin symbol on your product, literature, or packaging
reminds you that all electrical and electronic products, batteries, and
accumulators must be taken to separate collection at the end of their working
life. This requirement applies to the European Union and other locations
where separate collection systems are available. Do not dispose of these products
as unsorted municipal waste.
By returning the products to collection you help prevent uncontrolled waste
disposal and promote the reuse of material resources. More detailed information is
available from the product retailer, local waste authorities, national producer
responsibility organizations, or your local Nokia representative. For the product Eco-
Declaration or instructions for returning your obsolete product, go to country-
specific information at www.nokia.com.

RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic
systems in motor vehicles such as electronic fuel injection systems, electronic
antiskid (antilock) braking systems, electronic speed control systems, and air bag
systems. For more information, check with the manufacturer, or its representative,
of your vehicle or any equipment that has been added.
Only qualified personnel should service the device or install the device in a vehicle.
Faulty installation or service may be dangerous and may invalidate any warranty
that may apply to the device. Check regularly that all wireless device equipment in
your vehicle is mounted and operating properly. Do not store or carry flammable
liquids, gases, or explosive materials in the same compartment as the device, its
parts, or accessories. For vehicles equipped with an air bag, remember that air bags
inflate with great force. Do not place objects, including installed or portable wireless
equipment in the area over the air bag or in the air bag deployment area. If in-
vehicle wireless equipment is improperly installed and the air bag inflates, serious
injury could result.
Using your device while flying in aircraft is prohibited. Switch off your device before
boarding an aircraft. The use of wireless teledevices in an aircraft may be dangerous
to the operation of the aircraft, disrupt the wireless telephone network, and may
be illegal.
Potentially explosive environments
Switch off your device when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere,
and obey all signs and instructions. Potentially explosive atmospheres include areas
where you would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle engine. Sparks in such
