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.
