Battery draining quickly ■ Check that your antenna is pointing
straight up and has a clear view of the
sky to conserve battery life.
■ Set the backlight option to “off” (see
Backlight, page 64).
■ Replace the battery if it is several
years old.
■ Check the battery temperature. If
temperatures are too warm or too cold,
battery life is decreased.

feature.

Restricting the phone, page 55).

Prohibited List (see Erasing a
Provider from the Prohibited List,
page 83).
