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, K, 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.

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.

battery connected to a charger, since overcharging may shorten its lifetime. If left unused, a fully charged battery will

lose its charge over time.
