Accessories
Warning: Use only batteries, chargers, and accessories approved by Nokia for
use with this particular model. The use of any other types may invalidate any approval
or warranty, and may be dangerous.
For availability of approved accessories, please check with your dealer. When you
disconnect the power cord of any accessory, grasp and pull the plug, not the cord.
Battery
Battery and charger information
Your device is powered by a rechargeable battery. The battery intended for use with
this device is BL-4C. Nokia may make additional battery models available for this device.
This device is intended for use when supplied with power from the following chargers:
AC-3. 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.
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.

Battery
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.
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 a Nokia authorised service centre or 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 Nokia
authorised service centre or dealer for assistance. If authenticity cannot be verified,
return the battery to the place of purchase.
Authenticate hologram
1. When you look at the hologram on the label, you should see the
Nokia connecting hands symbol from one angle and the Nokia
Original Enhancements logo when looking from another angle.
2. When you angle the hologram left, right, down and up, you
should see 1, 2, 3 and 4 dots on each side respectively.

Additional safety information
Certification information (SAR)
This mobile device meets guidelines for exposure to radio waves.
Your mobile device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed not to exceed the
limits for exposure to radio waves recommended by international guidelines. These
guidelines were developed by the independent scientific organisation ICNIRP and
include safety margins designed to assure the protection of all persons, regardless of
age and health.
The exposure guidelines for mobile devices employ a unit of measurement known as
the Specific Absorption Rate or SAR. The SAR limit stated in the ICNIRP guidelines is 2.0
watts/kilogram (W/kg) averaged over 10 grams of tissue. Tests for SAR are conducted
using standard operating positions with the device transmitting at its highest certified
power level in all tested frequency bands. The actual SAR level of an operating device
can be below the maximum value because the device is designed to use only the power
required to reach the network. That amount changes depending on a number of factors
such as how close you are to a network base station. The highest SAR value under the
ICNIRP guidelines for use of the device at the ear is 1.38 W/kg.
Use of device accessories may result in different SAR values. SAR values may vary
depending on national reporting and testing requirements and the network band.
Additional SAR information may be provided under product information at
