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, turn off your
wireless services. You can forward calls to a different number or let all calls be picked up by
voicemail (see the User Guide for details). To see if your wireless services are on, tap the
phone-off

icon, and then select Wireless Manager. If wireless services are on, you can

turn all wireless services off in Wireless Manager by selecting All.

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 7).

Turn off your smartphone’s Bluetooth

®

wireless technology feature when you do not need to

have a Bluetooth connection.

Turn down the screen brightness (see “Adjusting the brightness” on page 96).

Set your screen to turn off automatically after a shorter period of inactivity (see the User
Guide
for details).

Keep your battery away from direct sunlight and other sources of heat. Temperatures over
120 degrees Fahrenheit (50 degrees Celsius) can permanently reduce the capacity and life
span of any lithium-ion battery.

NOTE

If the battery is fully drained, it may take a few moments for the indicator light to turn on while charging. Don’t worry;

your smartphone stores your info safely until you recharge the battery. To avoid draining the battery, charge and synchronize
every day, especially if you use your smartphone often.
