Q: How do I save battery power?
A: Many features in your device increase the demand on battery power and reduce the
battery life time. To save battery power, do the following:
• Deactivate Bluetooth connectivity when you do not need it.
• Stop the background scans for WLAN. Select Menu > Ctrl. panel > Settings and
Connection > Wireless LAN > Show WLAN availability > Never. You can still
manually scan for available WLANs and connect to WLANs as usual.
• Set the device to use a packet data connection only if you start an application or
action that needs it. Select Menu > Ctrl. panel > Settings and Connection >
Packet data > Packet data connection > When needed.
• Prevent the device from automatically downloading new maps in the Maps
application. Select Menu > Applications > Maps and Options > Settings >
Internet > Connection.
• Change the time-out after which the backlight is switched off. Select Menu > Ctrl.
panel > Settings and General > Personalisation > Display > Light time-out.
• Close the applications you are not using. Press and hold the home key. Scroll to the
application, and press the backspace key to close the application.
