Battery information, Charging and discharging

6. Battery information

■Charging and discharging

Your device is powered by a rechargeable battery. 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 replacement 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.

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.

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.

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.

■Talk and standby times

Talk time (ECTEL): up to 135 minutes

2760 specifications

The Nokia 2760 is a classic mobile phone that was released in the mid-2000s, capturing the essence of that era with its simple, functional design and practical features. Designed for users who valued ease of use and reliability, the Nokia 2760 brought together a set of technologies that catered to the communication needs of its time.

One of the standout features of the Nokia 2760 is its compact and clamshell design. The flip phone form factor offered an elegant, pocket-friendly solution that protected the keypad and screen when not in use. This design not only appealed to consumers looking for convenience but also exuded a sense of style that was popular among mobile phones of that period.

The Nokia 2760 comes equipped with a vibrant 2.0-inch TFT display that boasts a resolution of 128 x 160 pixels. While modest by today’s standards, this display was adequate for reading text messages and navigating the phone's user interface. The interface is intuitive, with clearly defined menus that make accessing various functions straightforward.

In terms of connectivity, the Nokia 2760 supports GSM technology, which was the standard for mobile communications during its release. It enables reliable voice calls and SMS text messaging, catering to the communication preferences of users in that era. With its support for GPRS (General Packet Radio Service), the device could also facilitate basic data services, allowing users to browse the web and send and receive emails, albeit at much slower speeds compared to contemporary devices.

Another notable feature includes the Nokia 2760's built-in camera, which captures images at a resolution of 640 x 480 pixels. While it may not compete with today’s high-quality smartphone cameras, this feature was a novelty for many users at the time, enabling them to take and share snapshots on the go.

The battery life of the Nokia 2760 is commendable, with a talk time of around 3.5 hours and a standby time of upwards of 20 days. This longevity is a significant advantage for users who prioritize reliability in their mobile devices.

In summary, the Nokia 2760 is a reflection of its time, embodying the key characteristics of early mobile technology: functional design, reliable communication capabilities, and user-friendly features. It remains a nostalgic reminder of the simplicity and practicality that defined mobile phones before the smartphone boom. This device catered to those who appreciated straightforward functionality over excessive features, creating a lasting legacy in the Nokia lineup.
