Battery and charger information

Your device is powered by a rechargeable battery. The battery
intended for use with this device is BL-4S. This device is
intended for use when supplied with power from the
following chargers: AC-4. 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.
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.
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
58
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. (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.
