Using The Batteries - Nokia 8850 User Manual

• When the battery is running out of power and only few minutes
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.

Using the batteries

• Use the battery only for its intended purpose.
• Never use any charger or battery which is damaged or worn out.
• Do not short-circuit the battery. Accidental short-circuiting can
occur when a metallic object (coin, clip or pen) causes direct
connection of the + and - terminals of the battery (metal strips
on the back of the battery) for example when you carry a spare
battery in your pocket or purse. Short-circuiting the terminals
may damage the battery or the connecting object.
• Leaving the battery in hot or cold places, such as in a closed car
in summer or winter conditions, will reduce the capacity and
lifetime of the battery. Always try to keep the battery between
15 C and 25 C (59 F and 77 F). A phone with a hot or cold battery
may temporarily not work, even when the battery is fully
charged. Li-Ion batteries performance is particularly limited in
temperatures below -0 C (32 F).
• Do not dispose of batteries in a fire!
Batteries must be recycled or disposed of properly.
Must not be disposed of in municipal waste!
