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.
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.
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, and take it to the nearest authorised Nokia service
point or dealer for assistance. Your authorised Nokia service point or dealer will inspect the
battery for authenticity. If authenticity cannot be verified, return the battery to the place of
purchase.
