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.
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.
