MAXIMIZING BATTERY LIFE
Battery life depends on individual usage. When used as a smartphone, your smartphone battery
provides up to 4.5 hours of talk time or up to 15 days of standby time.
You can increase your smartphone’s battery life by following a few easy guidelines. Remember
that battery life depends on how you use your smartphone.
■ Charge your smartphone whenever you’re at your desk, or charge it overnight each day. The
battery in your smartphone has a much longer useful life when it is topped off frequently,
versus charging it after it is fully drained.
■ Your smartphone’s wireless features (phone, email, messaging, and web) generally consume
more power than the organizer features.
■ If you spend a lot of time using the camera (if included), games, media players, eBooks, or
other applications, keep an eye on the battery icon and charge when necessary.
■ If you don’t plan to use the wireless features on your smartphone for a while, put it into Flight
mode. You can forward calls to a different number or let all calls be picked up by voicemail
(see the electronic User Guide for details). To see if your smartphone is in Flight Mode, tap
the phone-off icon .
■ As with any mobile phone, if you are in an area with no wireless coverage, your smartphone
searches for a signal, which consumes power. If you cannot move to an area of better
coverage, temporarily turn off your phone (see “Turning your phone on and off” on page 3).
■ Turn off your smartphone’s Bluetooth
