Nokia 8850 - Charging and discharging the battery

Charging and discharging the battery

• Your phone is powered by a rechargeable battery.

• Never remove or replace the battery when the phone is

connected to the charger.

• Note that a new battery's full performance is 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 stand-by 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.

• 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, since overcharging may shorten its life. If
left unused a fully charged battery will discharge itself over time.

• Temperature extremes will affect the ability of your battery to

charge: allow it to cool down or warm up first.

of talk time remain, a warning tone is heard and

briefly displayed. When no more talk time is left,

is displayed and a warning tone is sounded and the phone
switches itself off.
