Prolong battery life
Many features in your device increase
the demand on battery power and
reduce the battery life time. To save
battery power, observe the following:
• Features that use Bluetooth
technology, or allowing such
features to run in the background
while using other features, increase
the demand on battery power.
Switch off Bluetooth when you do
not need it.
• Features that use wireless LAN
(WLAN), or allowing such features
to run in the background while
using other features, increase the
demand on battery power. The
WLAN on your Nokia device
switches off when you are not
trying to connect, not connected to
another access point, or not
scanning for available networks. To
further reduce battery
consumption, you can specify that
your device not scan, or scans less
often, for available networks in the
background.
• If you have set Packet data
connection to When available in
connection settings, and there is no
packet data coverage (GPRS), the
device periodically tries to establish
a GPRS connection. To prolong the
operating time of your device,
select Menu > Ctrl. panel >
Settings and Connection >
Packet data > Packet data
connection > When needed.
• The Maps application downloads
new map information when you
scroll to new areas on the map,
which increases the demand on
battery power. You can prevent the
automatic download of new maps.
• If the signal strength of the cellular
network varies much in your area,
your device must scan for the
available network repeatedly. This
increases the demand on battery
power.
If the network mode is set to dual
mode in the network settings, the
device searches for the 3G network.
You can set the device to use only
the GSM network. To use only the
GSM network, select Menu > Ctrl.
panel > Settings and Phone >
Network > Network mode >
GSM.
