Nokia 2160i owner manual Battery Charge, Important Battery Information

accessory available for your phone. The battery can be charged and discharged hundreds of times but it will eventually wear out. When the operating time is noticeably shorter than normal, it is time to buy a new battery.

Battery Charge

The phone gives you a warning tone and the message BATTERY LOW when only a couple of minutes of talk time re- main. When no more battery power remains, you get a Recharge Battery Tone and the message RECHARGE BATTERY. The phone switches itself off.

Connect your phone directly to a charger or place it on a charging stand with the power on or off to begin charging.

Note: In some vehicles, the ignition must be on in order to charge the phone with the cigarette lighter adapter.

If the message NOT CHARGING is displayed, charging is suspended. Check that the battery is not overheated (over 104°F/40°C), too cold, or connected to a non-approved charging device. Wait for a while, connect the charger to the phone again and retry. If charging still fails, contact qualified service personnel.

Important Battery Information

For good operation times, discharge the battery from time to time by leaving your phone switched on until it turns itself off or by using the battery discharge facility of any approved accessory available for your phone. Do not attempt to discharge the battery by any other means.

•When a charger is not in use, disconnect it from the power source. Do not leave the battery connected to a charger for longer than a week; overcharging may shorten its life.

•If left unused, a fully charged battery will discharge itself in about a week at room temperature.

•When the battery is not in use, store it uncharged in a cool, dark and dry place.
