•Lower the screen display brightness level.

•Turn off your phone or use Flight mode if you are in an area with no network coverage. Otherwise, your phone repeatedly scans for available networks, and this consumes power.

•Use a handsfree device to listen to music. This consumes less battery than when you listen through the phone's loudspeakers.

•Visit www.sonyericsson.com/support or go to the Sony Ericsson Support application in your phone for an extended User guide. Here you can also find a video on how to maximize the battery performance.

Lowering the screen display brightness and keeping the Bluetooth™ and Wi-Fi® enabled even though not in use, have a minor impact on the available battery life.

Charging the battery

The phone battery is partly charged when you buy the phone. It may take a few minutes before the battery icon appears on the screen when you connect the phone to a power source. You can still use your phone while it is charging.

The battery will start to discharge a little after it is fully charged and then charges again after a certain time. This is to extend battery life and may result in the charge status showing a level below 100 percent.
