Nokia 7280 7. Battery information

7. Battery information

Your device is powered by a rechargeable battery. The full performance of a new battery is

achieved only after two or three complete charge and discharge cycles. The battery can be

charged and discharged hundreds of time s but it will eventually wear out. When the tal k and

standby times are noticeably shorter than normal, buy a new battery. Contact the authorised

service facility for replacement battery. Do not attempt to do it yourself. Use only Nokia

approved batteries, and recharge your battery only with Nokia approved chargers

designated for this device.

• Recharge your battery only with Nokia approved chargers desi gnated for this device.

• Unplug the charger from the electrical plug and the device when not in use. Do not leave

the battery connected to a charger. Overcharging may shorten its lifetime. If left unused,

a fully charged battery will lose its charge over time. Temperature extremes can affect

the ability of your battery to charge.

• 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.
