Nokia 6190 owner manual When is a good time to charge?, When is charging complete?

charge 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 shortly after charging begins; if your phone is on, the scroll bars will stop scrolling after a while. This is normal. Be sure to charge the battery for the entire 24-hour period without interruption.

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 resume after the battery is restored to its normal oper- ating 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 discharge once in a while (see “Discharging NiMH batteries” on page 9).

Whenever your phone beeps once and displays %DW0 WHU\ ORZ, you only have a couple of minutes of talk time remaining. The repetition rate of these battery-low warnings depend on the remaining battery capacity and the battery condition. These warnings are more frequent when you’re in a call.

Note: The phone will not give you the warning tone under certain conditions. See “Warning tones” on page 79.

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. This is called “trickle charge.”
