Nokia 6200 - • Understand your phone

[ 8 ]

Use the antenna

Your phone has a built-in antenna. As with any
other radio transmitting device, avoid touching
the antenna unnecessarily when the phone is
switched on. Contact with the antenna affects
call quality and may cause the phone to operate
at a higher power level than otherwise needed.
Not touching the antenna area during a phone
call optimizes the antenna performance and the
talk time of your phone.

Use the battery

CHARGE THE BATTERY

1

Plug the charger into a standard ac outlet.

2

Insert the charger output plug into
the round connector at the bottom
end of the phone.

After a few seconds, the battery
indicator in the display starts to
scroll from bottom to top. If the
battery is completely empty, it may take a few minutes before the
charging indicator appears on the display or any calls can be made.

Tip: You can use the phone while the charger is connected.

IMPORTANT BATTERY INFORMATION

Important: Your phone is powered by a rechargeable battery.

Use only batteries approved by Nokia and recharge your battery
only with the chargers approved by Nokia. Never use any charger
or battery which is damaged.

The battery can be charged and discharged hundreds of times but it will
eventually wear out. When the operating time (talk-time and standby
time) is noticeably shorter than normal, it is time to buy a new battery.

Welcome and quick guide

PROLONG THE BATTERY
Use the following guidelines to obtain the best performance from
your battery:

•

With your phone turned off, charge your new battery for three hours
before its first use. Use the battery until it is fully discharged. Repeat
this procedure twice for a total of three charging cycles.

•

Note that the full performance of a new battery is achieved only after
two or three complete charge and discharge cycles. Battery operation
times may be less than the estimated times during the first charges.
This condition is normal.

•

You can use your phone while the battery is charging. However, if the
battery is completely empty, it may need to recharge a few minutes
before you can make or receive calls or the battery indicator appears.

•

After the first charge, you can make and receive calls during the
charging cycle, but the calls lengthen the charging time. When the
phone call ends, the charge will resume.

•

The bars on the screen stop scrolling and remain constant when the
phone is fully charged. If you leave the phone connected to the charger,
the battery receives an additional charge. If you switch the phone on
when charging is complete, the Battery full message momentarily
appears in the display.

Note: The battery will accept a “trickle charge" for an additional
two hours.

REPLACE THE BATTERY
You will need to remove the existing battery if you want to replace the
battery or insert the SIM card. Make sure the phone has been turned off
for 10 seconds before removing the battery.

Note: Before removing the phone cover, always switch off the
power and disconnect the phone from the charger or any other
device. Always store and use the phone with the covers attached.

Shared memory

The following features in this phone may share memory: contacts, text
and multimedia messages, images and ringing tones in gallery, calendar
and to-do notes, Java games and applications, and voice recorder and
commands. Using any such features may reduce the memory available for
any features sharing memory. This is especially true with heavy use of any
of the features (although some of these features may have a certain
amount of memory specially allotted to them in addition to the amount
of memory shared with other features).

For example, saving many images, bookmarks, Java applications, or other
features sharing memory may take all of the shared memory and your
phone may display a message that the memory is full. In this case, delete
some of the information or entries stored in the shared memory features
before continuing.

The following functions use shared memory that is dependent on the
data quantity per item and shared memory available at a time in the
Nokia 6200 phone:
