This section provides information about your phone’s batteries, accessories, chargers, safety guidelines and technical information. Be aware that the information in this section is subject to change as batteries, chargers, and accessories change.

• BATTERY STATEMENTS

Charging and discharging

Your phone is powered by a rechargeable battery.

Note that a new battery's full performance may be achieved only after two or three complete charge and discharge cycles!

The battery can be charged and discharged hundreds of times but it will eventually wear out. When the operating time (talk time and standby time) is noticeably shorter than normal, it is time to buy a new battery.

Use only batteries approved by the phone manufacturer and recharge your battery only with the chargers approved by the manufacturer. Unplug the charger when not in use. Do not leave the battery connected to a charger for longer than a week, since overcharging may shorten its lifetime. If left unused, a fully charged battery will discharge itself over time.

Temperature extremes can affect the ability of your battery to charge; allow it to cool down or warm up first.

For good operation times with NiMH batteries, 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.

Use the battery only for its intended purpose.

Never use any charger or battery which is damaged or worn out.

Do not short-circuit the battery. Accidental short-circuiting can occur when a metallic object (coin, clip, or pen) causes direct connection of the + and - terminals of the battery (metal strips on the battery), for example, when you carry a spare battery in your pocket or purse. Short-circuiting the terminals may damage the battery or the connecting object.

Leaving the battery in hot or cold places, such as in a closed car in summer or winter conditions, will reduce the capacity and lifetime of the battery. Always try to keep the battery between 59°F and 77°F (15°C and 25°C). A phone with a hot or cold battery may temporarily not work, even when the battery is fully charged. Batteries' performance is particularly limited in temperatures well below freezing.

2260 specifications

The Nokia 2260 is a resilient and practical mobile phone that embodies the essence of classic mobile design, prioritizing functionality and user convenience over complex modern features. Launched during a period when mobile devices were primarily used for texting and calling, this model is an excellent example of Nokia’s commitment to producing reliable communication tools.

One of the standout features of the Nokia 2260 is its robust build quality. Constructed to withstand everyday wear and tear, the phone’s durable casing ensures it can handle the rigors of daily use, making it ideal for individuals who value reliability. The compact design allows for easy portability, fitting comfortably in a pocket or bag.

The user interface is straightforward, featuring a well-organized keypad with tactile buttons, which provides users with a satisfying typing experience for text messages and dialing. The large monochrome display, while not as advanced as contemporary smartphones, offers clear visibility for essential information and incoming calls.

In terms of connectivity, the Nokia 2260 supports basic GSM technology, providing dependable network access for voice calls and text messaging. It lacks the high-speed internet capabilities of modern smartphones, but its simplicity ensures users stay connected without distractions. The phone operates on a long-lasting battery, which is one of its most appreciated characteristics. Users can expect days of usage on a single charge, which is a significant advantage for those who often find themselves away from power sources.

Another notable aspect of the Nokia 2260 is its limited multimedia features, emphasizing voice calls and text messages. The device may come preloaded with a few simple ringtones and a basic contact management system, but it steers clear of the extensive apps and media functions found in today’s smartphones. This limitation is intentional, catering to users seeking a no-frills device.

In conclusion, the Nokia 2260 represents an era of mobile phones focused on essential communication without the distractions of advanced technology. Its sturdy construction, user-friendly interface, long battery life, and basic connectivity features make it an appealing choice for those who appreciate simplicity and reliability in their mobile devices. Whether for personal use or as a backup phone, the Nokia 2260 stands as a testament to Nokia’s legacy in the mobile industry.
