The analysis of Li i 6708 Å line was performed for 6 rotational phases distributed over the whole rotational period (~9.5 years) of HD166473. The magnetic field model was constructed based on the polarimetric measurements from Mathys et al. (2007). For each observed phase the modulus of the magnetic field was also estimated from simulation of the Fe ii 6147 Å, 6149 Å and Pr iii 6706.7 Å line profiles taking into account Zeeman magnetic splitting. The lithium abundance in each phase was obtained from fitting the observed Li i 6708 Å profile with the synthetic one calculated assuming Paschen-Back splitting and estimated magnetic field characteristics from Pr iii 6706.7 Å line profile.
