If your phone displays
#1RW#FKDUJLQJ, charging is sus-
pended. Check that the battery is connected to an
approved charging device. If the battery is very hot or
cold, wait for a while; charging will automatically
resume after the battery is restored to its normal oper-
ating state. If charging still fails, contact your dealer.
When is a good time to charge?
Actually, you can charge anytime. If you have a NiMH
battery, you should allow it to discharge once in a while
(see “Discharging NiMH batteries” on page 9).
Whenever your phone beeps once and displays
%DWWHU\#ORZ, you only have a couple of minutes of talk
time remaining. The repetition rate of these battery-low
warnings depend on the remaining battery capacity
and the battery condition. These warnings are more
frequent when you’re in a call.
Note: The phone will not give you the warning tone under
certain conditions. See “Warning and game tones” on
page 82.
Once all the power has drained from your battery,
you’ll hear three beeps with the message
5HFKDUJH#
EDWWHU\ on your display. At this point, your phone will
switch itself off and you’ll need to recharge your
battery.
When is charging complete?
When the charge indicators stop scrolling,
your phone is considered fully charged.
However, a slight increase in charge may
occur if your phone is left connected to the
charger. This is called “trickle charge.”
Charging times depend on the type of battery and
charger used. For approximate charging and oper-
ating times, see “Batteries” on page 91.
If the battery is too hot or cold, charging may be
interrupted until the battery reaches its normal
operating temperature.
