5. Battery information

■ Charging and discharging

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. 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 replacement battery is being used for the first time or if the battery has
not been used for a prolonged period, it maybe necessary to connect the
charger and then disconnect and reconnect it to start the charging.
Unplug the charger from the electrical plug and the device when not in use.
Do not leave 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.
If the battery is completely discharged, it may take a few minutes before the
charging indicator appears on the display or before any calls can be made.
Use the battery only for its intended purpose. Never use any charger or
battery that is damaged.
