Battery and charger information
Your device is powered by a rechargeable battery. The battery intended for use with this

device is BL-5J. 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-10. 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, K, or UB.

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.

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.

Safe removal. Always switch the device off and disconnect the charger before 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 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.

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 batteries. In

the event of a battery leak, prevent battery liquid contact with skin or eyes. If this

happens, flush the affected areas immediately with water, or seek medical help.

Damage. Do not modify, remanufacture, attempt to insert foreign objects into the

battery, or immerse or expose it to water or other liquids. Batteries may explode if

damaged.

Correct use. Use the battery only for its intended purpose. 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. Never use any charger or battery that

is damaged. Keep your battery out of the reach of small children.
