The Basics 19

Charging with USB

You can use your computer to charge your phone. To be able to charge with the USB cable, you need to have the necessary USB drivers installed on your PC ﬁrst. Connect one end of the USB cable to the Accessory/Charger Port on your phone and connect the other end to a USB port on your PC. It is best to use the rear USB port when connecting to a desktop PC. The USB hub should be powered by an external power source.

Optimizing Battery Life

You can extend your battery’s life between charges by turning off features that run in the background. You can also monitor how applications and system resources consume battery power.

To stop applications from running in the background

From the Home screen, touch the Apps Key > Settings > Apps > Running tab and select the items that are no longer in use and touch Stop.

Tips to extend the life of your battery

㻌Turn off radio communications that you aren’t using. If you aren’t using Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or GPS, use the Settings menu to turn them off (Note that the GPS receiver is only turned on when you’re using an application that makes use of it).

㻌Turn down screen brightness and set a shorter screen timeout.

㻌Turn off automatic syncing for Gmail, Calendar, Contacts, and other applications if you don’t need it.

㻌Use the Power Control widget to control the wireless connections, GPS connection, Bluetooth power, display brightness, and syncing activity.

To check the battery charge level

㻌From the Home screen, touch the Apps Key > Settings > About phone > Battery.

The battery status (Charging or Discharging) and level (as a percentage of fully charged) will be displayed at the top of the screen.
