11. Battery and Charger Information

Your device is powered by a rechargeable battery. The battery intended
for use with this device is BL-5C 1020 mAh Li-Ion battery. This device is
intended for use when supplied with power from the following chargers:
AC-6U travel charger. 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.

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 turn 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.

Do not modify, remanufacture, attempt to insert foreign objects into
the battery, or immerse or expose it to water or other liquids.

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 center
for inspection before continuing to use it.

Use the battery only for its intended purpose. Never use any charger
or battery that is damaged. Keep your battery out of the reach of
small children.
