Discharging Nimh Batteries; Removing The Battery - Nokia 6188 Owner's Manual

Charging times depend on the type of battery and
charger used.
For approximate charging and operating times, see "Batteries" on
page 72.
Can you make calls while charging?
Yes, you can. But your battery may not charge while a call
is in progress (depending on which charger you are
using). Charging should resume once you end the call.
See "Chargers and Other Accessories" on page 74 for more
information.

Discharging NiMH batteries

A NiMH battery lasts longer and performs better if you
fully discharge it from time to time. To discharge the
battery, leave your phone switched on until the battery is
drained. The phone will display several messages that the
battery is low and that you need to recharge it; just
ignore them.
Do not attempt to discharge the battery by any other
means.
