4. Battery information
Your 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, replace the
battery. Use only Nokia approved batteries, and recharge your battery
only with Nokia approved chargers designated for this device.
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.
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
