Nokia 6162 Cell Phone User Manual


 
6
Note: If youre charging the battery for the first time, the battery
strength indicator bars will not scroll the entire time. If your
phone is off, the scroll bars will disappear long before the 24
hours have elapsed. This is normal. If your phone is on, the
scroll bars will stop scrolling after a while. Either way, charge the
battery for the entire 24-hour duration.
If your phone displays 1RW FKDUJLQJ, charging is sus-
pended. Check that the battery is not connected to a
non-approved charging device. If the battery is very hot
or cold, wait for a while; charging will automatically re-
sume after the battery is restored to its normal operating
state. If charging still fails, contact your dealer.
When is a good time to charge?
Actually, you can charge anytime. If you have a NiMH
battery, you should allow it to completely discharge
once in a while.
When your phone beeps once and displays
%DWWHU\ ORZ ,
you only have a couple of minutes of talk time remain-
ing. The repetition rate of these battery-low warnings
depend on the remaining battery capacity and the bat-
tery condition. These warnings are more frequent when
youre in a call.
Note: The phone will not give you the warning tone under cer-
tain conditions. See Warning tones on page 71.
Once all the power has drained from your battery, youll
hear three beeps with the message
5HFKDUJH EDWWHU\ on
your display. At this point, your phone will switch itself
off and youll need to recharge your battery.
When is charging complete?
When the charge indicators stop scrolling, your
phone is considered fully charged. However, a
slight increase in charge may occur if your
phone is left connected to the charger for a
while. This is called trickle charge.
Charging times depend on the type of battery and
charger used.
