Battery and charger information
Your device is powered by a rechargeable battery. The
battery intended for use with this device is BL-5CT. This
device is intended for use when supplied with power from
the following chargers: AC-3. 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.
