Battery and charger information
Your device is powered by a rechargeable battery. The battery intended for use
with this device is BL-4CT. 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 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.
Improper battery use may result in a fire, explosion, or other hazard. If the device
or battery is dropped, especially on a hard surface, and you believe the battery
has been damaged, take it to a service centre for inspection before continuing to
use it.
Use the battery only for its intended purpose. Never use any charger or battery
that is damaged. Keep your battery out of the reach of small children.
