Nokia C3-00 Mode D'emploi page 31

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.
Safe removal. Always switch the device off and
disconnect the charger before removing the battery.
Proper charging. 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.
Avoid extreme temperatures. Always try to keep the
battery between 59°F and 77°F (15°C and 25°C). 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. 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.
Disposal. Do not dispose of batteries in a fire as they may
explode. Dispose of batteries according to local
regulations. Please recycle when possible. Do not
dispose as household waste.
Leak. Do not dismantle, cut, open, crush, bend, puncture,
or shred cells or batteries. In the event of a battery leak,
prevent battery liquid contact with skin or eyes. If this
happens, flush the affected areas immediately with
water, or seek medical help.
Damage. Do not modify, remanufacture, attempt to
insert foreign objects into the battery or immerse or
expose it to water or other liquids. Batteries may
explode if damaged.
Correct use. Use the battery only for its intended
purpose. 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 center
for inspection before continuing to use it. 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 a Nokia authorized service center or
dealer, and inspect the hologram label using the
following steps:
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 Accessories
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.
Successful completion of the steps is not a total
assurance of the authenticity of the battery. If you
cannot confirm authenticity or if you have any reason to
believe that your Nokia battery with the hologram on
the label is not an authentic Nokia battery, you should
refrain from using it, and take it to the nearest Nokia
authorized service center or dealer for assistance.
