■ Nokia battery authentication guidelines
Always use original Nokia batteries for your safety. To check that you 
are getting an original Nokia battery, purchase it from an authorized 
Nokia dealer, look for the Nokia Original Enhancements logo on the 
packaging, and inspect the hologram label using the following steps:
Successful completion of the four steps is not a total assurance of the 
authenticity of the battery. If you have any reason to believe that your 
battery is not an authentic original Nokia battery, you should refrain 
from using it, and take it to the nearest authorized Nokia service point 
or dealer for assistance. Your authorized Nokia service point or dealer 
will inspect the battery for authenticity. If authenticity cannot be 
verified, return the battery to the place of purchase.

Authenticate hologram
1. When looking at the hologram on the label, 
you should see the Nokia connecting hands 
symbol from one angle and the Nokia 
Original Enhancements logo when looking 
from another angle.
2. When you angle the hologram left, right,
down, and up, you should see 1, 2, 3, and 4 
dots on each side respectively.
3. Scratch the side of the label to reveal a
20-digit code, for example, 
12345678919876543210. Turn the battery 
so that the numbers are facing upwards. The 
20-digit code reads starting from the 
number at the top row followed by the 
bottom row.
