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® wireless technology feature when you do not need to make a Bluetooth connection.
