Battery and charger information
Charging and discharging
Your device is powered by a rechargeable battery. The 
battery intended for use with this device is BP-5M. This 
device is intended for use when supplied with power from 
the following chargers: AC-3, AC-4, AC-5 and DC-4 and 
CA-44 charging adapter. 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 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.
