Troubleshooting

My phone’s

display is too

dark.

You can use the Contrast Setting

feature (see page 76) to change the

level of contrast in your phone display.

You can also use the Backlight feature

(see page 76) to change the length of

time that your phone’s display backlight

stays on.

My battery didn’t

last as long as I

expected. What

can I do to

extend battery

life?

Your battery’s performance is affected

by charge time, feature use,

temperature changes, and other factors.

For tips on extending your battery life,

see “Battery Use” on page 32.

I am unable to

record a voice

note, voice

name, or voice

shortcut

Try moving to a quieter location to make

your voice recording. Hold the phone

about four inches (10 centimeters) away

from your mouth, and speak directly

into your phone’s microphone in a

normal tone of voice.
