IMPORTANT BATTERY INFORMATION
Note: Your phone is powered by a rechargeable battery.
Use only batteries approved by Nokia and recharge your battery only with 
the chargers approved by Nokia. Never use any charger or battery which 
is damaged.
The battery can be charged and discharged hundreds of times but it will 
eventually wear out. When the operating time (talk-time and standby 
time) is noticeably shorter than normal, it is time to buy a new battery.
The BLB-3 battery does not need a full discharge before recharging.
PROLONG THE BATTERY
Use the following guidelines to obtain the best performance from 
your battery:
•
With your phone turned off, charge your new battery for three hours 
before its first use. Use the battery until it is fully discharged. Repeat 
this procedure twice for a total of three charging cycles.
•
Note that the full performance of a new battery is achieved only after 
two or three complete charge and discharge cycles. Battery operation 
time may be less than the estimated times during the first charges. 
This condition is normal.

•
You can use your phone while the battery is charging. However, if the 
battery is completely empty, it may need to recharge a few minutes 
before you can make or receive calls or the battery indicator appears.
•
After the first charge, you can make and receive calls during the 
charging cycle, but the calls interrupt the charge. When the phone 
call ends, the charge will resume.
•
The bars on the screen stop scrolling and remain constant when the 
phone is fully charged. If you leave the phone connected to the 
charger, the battery receives an additional charge. If you switch the 
phone on when charging is complete, Battery full momentarily 
appears in the display.
