Ericsson GH198 user manual Care and Maintenance, Low battery alarm during a call

Page 52

In addition, the indicator light on the top edge of the phone starts flashing red.

If the phone is left on, the low battery alarm will be repeated several times and, eventually, the phone will turn itself off.

When the phone has turned itself off, the

message‘‘DISCHARGIN’’ flashes in the display and the indicator light on the top of the phone shows a steady red light.

This indicates that the phone now discharges the battery. It is not possible to turn the phone on again. Instead, the battery must be recharged or replaced with a charged one.

If you have the opportunity, do not remove the battery until the message ‘‘DISCHARGIN’’ and the red light go out. Refer to the section Recharging later in this chapter.

Low battery alarm during a call:

If the low battery alarm is issued when a call is in progress, you should end the call as quickly as possible. If the call continues, the phone will turn itself off after a short period.

Care and Maintenance

nance-free service life if properly treated.
