1. Set up your phone
■Antenna
Your phone has an internal antenna that is located toward the
top of the phone.
In the Nokia 2125i phone, the GPS antenna is internal and is
activated when you place emergency calls or when On is
selected from the Location info sharing menu. See "Location
information sharing," in the Nokia 2125i user guide.
Hold the phone as you would any other telephone with the
antenna area pointed up and over your shoulder.
Note: As with any other radio transmitting device, do
not touch the antenna unnecessarily when the device is
switched on. Contact with the antenna affects call
quality and may cause the device to operate at a higher
power level than otherwise needed. Avoiding contact
with the antenna while operating the device optimizes
the antenna performance and the battery life.

■Change the battery
Always switch the device off, and disconnect the charger before removing the battery.
Warning: Use only batteries, chargers, and enhancements 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.
Check the model number of any charger before use with this device. This device is intended
for use when supplied with power from the ACP-7 and ACP-12 chargers.
For availability of approved enhancements, please check with your dealer. When you
disconnect the power cord of any enhancement, grasp and pull the plug, not the cord.
Note: Always switch off the power and disconnect the charger and any other device

indicators on the battery match up with the
positive and negative indicators on the phone.
The battery label must face away from the phone.

3. Battery information
■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.
If a replacement 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.
Unplug the charger from the electrical plug and the device when not in use. Do not leave the
battery connected to a charger since overcharging may shorten its lifetime. If left unused, a
fully charged battery will lose its charge over time.
If the battery is completely discharged, it may take a few minutes before the charging indicator
appears on the display or before any calls can be made.
To prolong battery life of NiMh batteries, discharge the battery from time to time by leaving
your device switched on until it turns itself off. Do not attempt to discharge the battery by
any other means.
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.

18
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. 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.
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 batteries as household waste.
■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 an authorized Nokia dealer, look for the Nokia Original
Enhancements logo on the packaging and inspect the hologram label using the following steps:
Successful completion of the four 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 authorized Nokia service point or
dealer for assistance. Your authorized Nokia service point or dealer will inspect the battery
for authenticity. If authenticity cannot be verified, return the battery to the place of purchase.
Authenticate hologram
1. When looking 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.

19
2. When you angle the hologram left, right, down, and up,
you should see 1, 2, 3, and 4 dots on each side respectively.
3. Scratch the side of the label to reveal a 20-digit code, for
example 12345678919876543210. Turn the battery so that
the numbers are facing upwards. The 20-digit code reads
starting from the number at the top row followed by the
bottom row. Confirm that the 20-digit code is valid by
following the instructions at www.nokia.com/batterycheck.
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 authorized Nokia service
point or dealer for assistance. The use of a battery that is not approved by the manufacturer
may be dangerous and may result in poor performance and damage to your device and its
enhancements. It may also invalidate any approval or warranty applying to the device.

Care and maintenance
Your device is a product of superior design and craftsmanship and should be treated with
care. The suggestions below will help you protect your warranty coverage.
• Keep the device dry. Precipitation, humidity and all types of liquids or moisture can contain
minerals that will corrode electronic circuits. If your device does get wet, remove the
battery and allow the device to dry completely before replacing it.
• Do not use or store the device in dusty, dirty areas. Its moving parts and electronic
components can be damaged.
• Do not store the device in hot areas. High temperatures can shorten the life of electronic
devices, damage batteries, and warp or melt certain plastics.
• Do not store the device in cold areas. When the device returns to its normal temperature,
moisture can form inside the device and damage electronic circuit boards.
• Do not attempt to open the device other than as instructed in this guide.
• Do not drop, knock, or shake the device. Rough handling can break internal circuit boards
and fine mechanics.
• Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents to clean the device.
• Do not paint the device. Paint can clog the moving parts and prevent proper operation.
• Use a soft, clean, dry cloth to clean any lenses (such as camera, proximity sensor, and
light sensor lenses).
• Use only the supplied or an approved replacement . Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or
attachments could damage the device and may violate regulations governing radio devices.
• Use chargers indoors.
• Always create a backup of data you want to keep, such as contacts and calendar notes,
before sending your device to a service facility.
All of the above 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.
