Battery and charger information
Your device is powered by a rechargeable battery. The
battery intended for use with this device is BL-5CT.
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-8. The exact charger model number may vary
depending on the type of
plug. The plug variant is
identified by one of the follo
wing: E, EB, X, AR, U, A, C,
K, or UB. For example, the model numbers for the
charger can be, among others, AC-5 etc.
The battery can be charge
d and discharged hundreds
of times, but it will eventu
ally 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 battery is being used fo
r 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 ma
y
take several minutes before
the charging indicator
appears on the display or before any calls can be made.
Safe removal. Always switch the device off and
disconnect the charger befo
re removing the battery.
Proper charging. 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
.
Avoid extreme temperatures. 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. Accidental short-circuiting can
occur when a metallic object su
ch 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 sp
are battery in your pocket
or purse. Short-circuiting
the terminals may damage
the battery or the connecting object.
Disposal. Do not dispose of batteries in a fire as they
may explode. Dispose of batteries according to local
regulations. Please recycle when possible. Do not
dispose as household waste.
Leak. Do not dismantle, cut, open, crush, bend,
puncture, or shred cells or ba
tteries. In the event of a
battery leak, prevent batter
y liquid contact with skin
or eyes. If this happens, flush the affected areas
immediately with water, or seek medical help.
