Managing Your
Device
This chapter tells you how to manage power and customize 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 a
microSD card, may consume the battery power considerably.
CAUTION: Always keep both battery packs installed, especially when the device
is running on battery power. A battery pack can be removed only when it is not
being charged/discharged or if you are hot-swapping the battery pack.
NOTE: The battery level may automatically lessen due to the self-discharge
process, even when the battery is fully charged.
Battery Protection Mechanism
The battery has a self-protection mechanism which limits the maximum
charge of the battery to an appropriate level in particular situations.
The battery protection mode will be automatically activated once the
battery is found to be in a situation that requires protection. You will
receive a notification in the Notifications Panel and see the corresponding
icon in the Status Bar. The protection mode will be suspended when the
battery is not in the situation any more.
