Tips: Charging your device

Your BlackBerry device uses a lithium-ion battery. To maximize your use of this type of battery, when possible, do the following:

•Charge your device for an extended period of time rather than charging in small increments, for example, charging for less than 15 minutes.

•Avoid using your device while it is charging, to help it charge faster.

•Charge your device often, even when the battery charge isn't low.

•Avoid leaving your device in extremely hot or cold places, such as on a vehicle dashboard.

•Avoid leaving your device turned off with a low battery power level for an extended period of time.

Lock your screen

By locking the screen, you can help prevent your BlackBerry device from sending accidental messages or pocket dialing. Locking your device doesn't disable alerts for incoming calls or messages.

Press the Power/Lock key on the top of your device.

To unlock the screen, swipe up from the bottom of the screen.
