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