 Battery information

3. Battery information

■ Charging and discharging

Your device is powered by a rechargeable battery. 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 may be
necessary to connect the charger, then disconnect and
reconnect it to begin charging 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.
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.

Copyright © 2008 Nokia. All rights reserved. 13

Battery information

Use the battery only for its intended purpose. Never use any
charger or battery that is damaged.
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.
Leaving the battery 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.

14 Copyright © 2008 Nokia. All rights reserved.

 Battery information

Do not dismantle 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.

■ Nokia battery authentication guidelines

Always use original Nokia batteries for your safety. To check that
you are getting an original Nokia battery, purchase it from an
authorised Nokia dealer, and inspect the hologram label using
the following steps:
Successful completion of the steps is not a total assurance of the
authenticity of the battery. If you have any reason to believe
that your battery is not an authentic, original Nokia battery,
you should refrain from using it. If authenticity cannot be
verified, return the battery to the place of purchase.

They include below deck on boats, chemical transfer or storage
facilities, vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (such as
propane or butane), and areas where the air contains chemicals
or particles such as grain, dust, or metal powders.

Copyright © 2008 Nokia. All rights reserved. 27

Additional safety information

■ Emergency calls
Important: Wireless phones, including this device,
operate using radio signals, wireless networks, landline
networks, and user-programmed functions. Because of
this, connections in all conditions cannot be
guaranteed. You should never rely solely on any
wireless device for essential communications like
medical emergencies.

To make an emergency call:

1. If the device is not on, switch it on. Check for adequate
signal strength.
Some networks may require that a valid SIM card is properly
inserted in the device.
2. Press the end key as many times as needed to clear the
display and ready the device for calls.
3. Enter the official emergency number for your present
location. Emergency numbers vary by location.
4. Press the call key.
If certain features are in use, you may first need to turn those
features off before you can make an emergency call. Consult this
guide or your service provider for more information.

28 Copyright © 2008 Nokia. All rights reserved.

 Additional safety information

When making an emergency call, give all the necessary

information as accurately as possible. Your wireless device may
be the only means of communication at the scene of an
accident. Do not end the call until given permission to do so.

■ Certification information (SAR)

This mobile device meets guidelines for exposure to radio
waves.
Your mobile device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is
designed not to exceed the limits for exposure to radio waves
recommended by international guidelines. These guidelines were
developed by the independent scientific organization ICNIRP
and include safety margins designed to assure the protection of
all persons, regardless of age and health.
The exposure guidelines for mobile devices employ a unit of
measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate or SAR.
The SAR limit stated in the ICNIRP guidelines is 2.0 watts/
kilogram (W/kg) averaged over 10 grams of tissue. Tests for SAR
are conducted using standard operating positions with the
device transmitting at its highest certified power level in all
tested frequency bands. The actual SAR level of an operating
device can be below the maximum value because the device is
designed to use only the power required to reach the network.
Copyright © 2008 Nokia. All rights reserved. 29
Additional safety information
