4. Battery information
Your device is powered by a rechargeable battery. The full performance of a
new battery is achieved only after two or three complete charge and
discharge cycles. 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.
Unplug the charger from the electrical plug and the device when not in use.
Do not leave the device connected to a charger, since overcharging may
shorten the battery lifetime. If left unused, a fully charged battery will lose its
charge over time.
Use the battery only for its intended purpose. Never use any charger or battery
that is damaged.
Leaving the device 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 between 15°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 temperatures well
below freezing.
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.
