Motorola V8162 specifications 129

Troubleshooting

Q. I tried to place a call but received an alternating high/low tone. What does this mean?

A.This sound means your call did not connect to the network. Most likely, you dialed the number too soon after turning the phone ON. Wait until you see your phone’s idle display (in the main display either Ready, the name of your Service Provider, or your programmable banner) before placing a call.

An alternating tone may also indicate that your phone’s signal is blocked. Make sure the antenna is fully extended and move clear of any obstructions, like bridges, parking garages, tall buildings, etc.

Q.Whenever I turn the phone ON, the display says: Invalid Battery. What does this mean and why am I not able to charge the battery?

A.Your wireless phone uses the Motorola Expert Performance (E•P) Charging System. The E•P system enables the built-in charger to communicate with attached batteries and tailor its charging cycle to optimize performance.

If you see Invalid Battery when you power up the phone, the built-in charger is not able to communicate with the battery and cannot charge it. You could see this message for several reasons. The most likely one is that the battery is not a Motorola original and it does not have the appropriate E•P technology. We recommend that you use only Motorola original batteries and accessories and that you store your batteries in their protective covers when not in use.

Q.My phone started beeping, and the display says: 1 Call Unanswered. What happened?

A.Someone tried to call you while you were in an area where the signal was weak. Press Ç to clear your display, extend your phone’s antenna, and avoid obstructions like tunnels, parking garages and tall buildings whenever possible.
