Maximizing Battery Life

Battery life depends on how you use your Treo. Consumption factors include signal strength, use of accessories with Bluetooth® wireless technology, speakerphone usage, and the type of calls you make (data or voice). Increase battery life by following these easy guidelines:

⬤Charge your Treo whenever you’re at your desk, or charge it overnight each day. The battery in your device has a much longer useful life when it is topped off frequently, versus being charged after it is fully drained.

⬤If you spend a lot of time using the camera, games, media players, or other applications, keep an eye on the battery icon and charge when necessary.

⬤The wireless features of your Treo(phone, email, messaging, Web, and any applications that use a Sprint Power VisionSM or Wi-Fi connection) generally consume more power than the nonwireless features (Calendar, Tasks, Notes). If you don’t plan to use the wireless features on your device for a while, turn off your wireless services (see “Turning Wireless Services On and Off” on page 340). You can forward calls to a different number or let all calls be picked up by voicemail (see “Forwarding Calls” on page 88). To quickly turn

wireless services (phone, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi) on and off, tap the signal-strength icon, and then select Wireless Manager.

⬤If you sync email and other information directly with your corporate Exchange server using Microsoft® Exchange ActiveSync®, set the synchronization interval to a maximum of every 15 minutes during peak times and every hour (or turned off completely) during nonpeak times (see “Setting the Synchronization Schedule” on page 310).

⬤Turn off the Bluetooth feature on your Treo when you do not need to make a Bluetooth connection.
