Device
This chapter tells you how to manage power and configure your device.
Managing Power
The operating time of a fully charged battery depends on how you are using
the device. Some functions, such as using multimedia or operating an SD
card, may consume the battery power considerably.
Low Battery Signals and Actions
CAUTION: When you recharge the battery upon a warning of low power,
you should charge for at least 30 minutes. If you unplug the AC charger
soon, you may not have sufficient battery power for your operation.
To check the battery level, go to the Home screen, press the menu key on
your device, and tap Settings Æ About phone Æ Status. The battery status
(charging or discharging) and level (as a percentage of fully charged) are
displayed at the top of the screen.
You should save your data and recharge the battery immediately upon a
warning of low power; otherwise your device will turn off automatically.
You need to connect the device to external AC power for charging before
you can use it again.
