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.
Do not dismantle 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.

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 authorized Nokia dealer, look for the Nokia
Original 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.
