Chapter 2 - Getting started

Battery

Your Nokia 9000il Communicator is powered by a
rechargeable Lithium-Ion battery. The Extended
Li-Ion Battery provides up to three hours of talk/
fax/terminal time or up to 30 hours of standby
time. Use only batteries approved by the com-
municator manufacturer.

Charging the battery

Use only those chargers approved by the commu-
nicator manufacturer for charging a Lithium-Ion
battery. The communicator can be used during
charging. To charge a battery with the adapter
and a charger:
•
Insert the battery.
‚
Attach the adapter to the bottom of the com-
municator as shown in Figure 2-7. Insert the
curved pin into the right-hand side aperture
at the end of the communicator. Push the left
side of the adapter gently towards the com-
municator until the left locking pin engages.
(If you try to force the adapter into place up-
side down, you may accidentally break off the
curved guiding pin.)

ƒ
Connect the charger lead to the adapter, as
shown in Figure 2-8.
Note: You must have the adapter in order to
charge the unit.

„
Connect the charger to an 120 V AC wall out-
let. If the phone interface is switched on, the
CHARGING message appears on the display
and segments of the battery indicator bar on
the right-hand side of the phone interface dis-
play will start scrolling. (Charging information
is also shown on the communicator interface
display, see "Indicators" on page 2-10.)
...
When the battery is fully charged, the battery
indicator bar will stop scrolling and display
five solid bars. You may remove the adapter
from the communicator:
†
Hold down the release button on the left side
of the adapter (Figure 2-7), and turn the
adapter away from the communicator.
When the charge is low and only a few minutes
of operation time remain, a warning tone will be
heard, and the message BATTERY LOW will be re-
peated at regular intervals on the display. When
the charge level becomes too low for operation,
the RECHARGE BATTERY message will be dis-
played, accompanied by a warning tone. If you
do not connect the communicator to a charger,
the communicator automatically switches itself
off. If the tones have been switched off, only the
display messages will appear (see Chapter 13
"Phone interface: Detailed menus list - All
sounds (Menu 10)" on page 13-15).
