4. Battery information
Your Nokia Wireless GPS Module 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
times, but it will eventually wear out. When the talk and standby times are
noticeably shorter than normal, buy a new battery. Use only Nokia approved
batteries, and recharge batteries only with Nokia approved chargers designated
for this.
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, a clip or a 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! Dispose of batteries according to local
regulations. Please recycle when possible. Do not dispose as household waste.
