Using Your Phone’s Battery and Charger
Battery Capacity
Your phone is equipped with a 1150 mAh Lithium Ion (Li-Ion)
battery (BL-6C). It allows you to recharge your battery before
it is fully drained. The battery provides up to 4.0 hours of
continuous digital talk time. (Standby time is measured with
the phone closed.)
When the battery reaches 5% of its capacity, the battery icon
blinks. When there are approximately two minutes of talk
time left, the phone sounds an audible alert and then
powers down.
WARNING
Use only Nokia-approved batteries and chargers with
your phone. The failure to use a Nokia-approved
battery and charger may increase the risk that your
phone will overheat, catch fire, or explode, resulting in
serious bodily injury, death, or property damage.
Note:
Long backlight settings, searching for service, vibrate
mode, and browser use affect the battery’s talk and
standby times.
Tip:
Be sure to watch your phone’s battery level indicator and
charge the battery before it runs out of power.

Charging the Battery
Your phone’s Li-Ion battery is rechargeable and, if not already,
should be charged as soon as possible, so that you can begin
using your phone.
Keeping track of your battery’s
charge is important. If your battery
level becomes too low, your phone
automatically turns off and you
will lose all the information you
were just working on. For a quick
check of your phone’s battery level,
glance at the battery charge
indicator at the top of your phone’s
display screen. If the battery charge is getting too low, the
battery icon blinks and the phone sounds a warning tone.
Always use a Nokia-approved desktop charger, travel charger,
or vehicle power adapter to charge your battery.
Using the Charger
To use the travel charger provided with your phone:
䊳
Plug the round end of the AC adapter into the phone’s
charger jack and the other end into an electrical outlet.
It takes approximately 1 hour and 45 minutes (model AC-4
charger) or approximately 3 hours and 45 minutes (model AC-3
charger) to fully recharge a completely discharged battery.
With the approved Li-Ion battery, you can recharge the
battery before it becomes completely run down.
The BL-6C battery provides up to 4.0 hours of talk time.
Operation times are estimates and may vary depending on
network conditions, charging, and phone use.
WARNING
Using the wrong battery charger could cause damage
to your phone and void the warranty.
