Nokia 5630: 22. Battery and charger information

22. Battery and charger information

Your device is powered by a rechargeable battery. The battery intended for use with this

device is BL-4CT. This device is intended for use when supplied with power from the

following chargers: AC-6, AC-10, DC-6 and DC-10 chargers and CA-146 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.

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 an authorised Nokia 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 authorised Nokia service

point or dealer for assistance. Your authorised 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 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.

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 not use the battery. Take it to the nearest authorised Nokia service

point or dealer for assistance. The use of a battery that is not approved by the manufacturer

may be dangerous and may result in poor performance and damage to your device and its

enhancements. It may also invalidate any approval or warranty applying to the device.
