6416. Battery information■ Charging and dischargingYour device is powered by a rechargeable battery. The full performance of a new battery isachieved only after two or three complete charge and discharge cycles. The battery can becharged and discharged hundreds of times, but it will eventually wear out. When the talkand standby times are noticeably shorter than normal, replace the battery. Use only Nokiaapproved batteries, and recharge your battery only with Nokia approved chargers designatedfor this device.If a replacement battery is being used for the first time or if the battery has not been usedfor a prolonged period, it may be necessary to connect the charger and then disconnect andreconnect it to start the charging.Unplug the charger from the electrical plug and the device when not in use. Do not leavefully 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.If the battery is completely discharged, it may take a few minutes before the chargingindicator appears on the display or before any calls can be made.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 metallicobject 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 theterminals 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. Always try to keep the battery between15°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 temperatureswell below freezing.Do not dispose of batteries in a fire as they may explode. Batteries may also explode ifdamaged.
