Using The Batteries - Nokia 6250 User Manual

• Your phone is powered by a rechargeable battery.
• 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.
• When the battery is running out of power and only few minutes of talk time remain, a warning tone
is heard and Battery low
displayed and a warning tone is sounded and the phone switches itself off.
