Battery and charger information
This device has an internal,
nonremovable, rechargeable
battery. Do not attempt to
remove the battery from the
device as you may damage
the device. This device is
intended for use when
supplied with power from
the following chargers:
AC-3C, AC-4C, AC-5C,
AC-8C+CA-100C, and DC-4.
The battery can be charged
and discharged hundreds of
times, but it will eventually
wear out. Recharge your
battery only with Nokia
approved chargers
designated for this device.
Use of an unapproved
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 light is
displayed.

16 Copyright ©2009 Nokia. All rights reserved.
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 dispose of batteries in
a fire as they may explode.
Batteries may also explode if
damaged.
Never use any charger that is
damaged.
Important: Battery
talk and standby
times are estimates only
and depend on network
conditions, features used,
battery age and condition,
temperatures to which
battery is exposed, and
many other factors. The
amount of time a device

Copyright ©2009 Nokia. All rights reserved. 17
is used for calls will affect
its standby time. Likewise,
the amount of time that
the device is turned on and
in the standby mode will
affect its talk time.
Care and maintenance
Your device is a product of
superior design and
craftsmanship and should
be treated with care. The
following suggestions 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, allow it to
dry completely.
• 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

18 Copyright ©2009 Nokia. All rights reserved.
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.
• 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.
These suggestions apply
equally to your device,
charger, or any accessory. If
any device is not working
properly, take it to the
nearest authorised service
facility for service.
