Nokia 2180 Manual Do Utilizador

Your battery can be charged and discharged hundreds of

times but it will eventually wear out. When the operating

time is noticeably shorter than normal, and reconditioning

fails to extend its life, its time to buy a new battery.

Important battery information
For good operation times, discharge the battery from time

to time by leaving your phone switched on until it turns it-

self off or by using the battery discharge facility of any

approved accessory available for your phone. Do not at-

tempt to discharge the battery by any other means.
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 at room temperature.
When the battery is not in use, store it uncharged in a cool,

dark and dry place.
Temperature extremes will affect the ability of your battery

to charge: it may require cooling or warming first.
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 terminal may damage the battery or the con-

necting object.
Use the battery only for its intended purpose. Never use

any charger or battery that is damaged or worn out.
Leaving the battery in hot or cold places, such as in a closed

car in summer or winter conditions, will reduce the capac-

ity and lifetime of the battery. Always try to keep the battery

between 59°F and 77°F (15°C and 25°C). A phone with a

hot or cold battery may temporarily not work, even when

the battery is fully charged. NiMH battery performance is

particularly limited in temperatures below 14°F (-10°C).
