• Cleaning: If the battery contacts become dirty, gently wipe them with a clean, dry cloth. Do not use liquids or abrasive cleaners.
• Avoid Physical Shock: Protect the battery from severe impacts or drops, as this can damage internal components.

8. Troubleshooting

• Battery Not Charging:
  • Ensure the charger is properly connected to both the phone and a power outlet.
  • Verify that you are using a Nokia-approved charger.
  • Check for any visible damage to the charger cable or port.
  • Try cleaning the battery contacts and phone contacts with a dry cloth.
• Short Battery Life:
  • Reduce screen brightness.
  • Close unnecessary background applications.
  • Disable features like Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or GPS when not in use.
  • Ensure the battery has been fully charged multiple times to reach its full capacity.
• Battery Swelling: If you notice any swelling, leakage, or unusual heat from the battery, immediately stop using it and dispose of it safely according to local regulations. Do not attempt to charge or use a swollen battery.

9. User Tips

• Optimal Charging: While modern Li-ion batteries don't suffer from 'memory effect', avoiding frequent full discharges and charges can prolong overall lifespan. Charging to around 80% and discharging to 20% is often recommended.
