Battery information
Charging and discharging
Your device is powered by a rechargeable battery. The full
performance of a new battery is achieved only after two or
three complete charge and discharge cycles. 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.
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 a few
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.

Enhancements logo on the packaging, and inspect the
hologram label using the following steps:
Successful completion of the four 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 authorized Nokia service point or dealer for
assistance. Your authorized Nokia service point or dealer will
inspect the battery for authenticity. If authenticity cannot be
verified, return the battery to the place of purchase.
Authenticate hologram
1 When looking 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.
3 Scratch the side of the label to
reveal a 20-digit code, for
example,
12345678919876543210. Turn
the battery so that the numbers
are facing upwards. The 20-digit
code reads starting from the
number at the top row followed
by the bottom row.
4 Confirm that the 20-digit code is
valid by following the instructions
at www.nokia.com/batterycheck.
To create a text message, enter the
20-digit code, for example,
12345678919876543210, and send
to +44 7786 200276.
National and international operator charges will apply.
You should receive a message indicating whether the code
can be authenticated.
What if your battery is not authentic?
If you cannot confirm that your Nokia battery with the
hologram on the label is an authentic Nokia battery, please do

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 organization
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 0.54 W/kg.
Your mobile device is also designed to meet the requirements
for exposure to radio waves established by the Federal
Communications Commission (USA) and Industry Canada.
These requirements set a SAR limit of 1.6 W/kg averaged over
1 gram of tissue. The highest SAR value reported under this
standard during product certification for use at the ear is 0.68
W/kg and when properly worn on the body is 1.14 W/kg.
