Maximizing battery life
Battery life depends on how you use your
smartphone. You can maximize the life of
your battery by following a few easy
guidelines:
• If you set up an email account in the
Messaging application, set the interval
to automatically download email to
every two hours or less frequently (see
Setting up email
).
• Turn off the Wi-Fi feature (see Turning
wireless services on/off), leave the
default option to connect only when the
Wi-Fi button is pressed, or adjust Power
Save Mode to maximize the battery
(see Customizing Wi-Fi settings
).
• Turn off the Bluetooth feature if you’re
not using it (see Entering basic
Bluetooth settings).
• Turn off the option to receive beamed
information if you’re not using it (see
Turning on the option to receive
beamed information).
• Set your screen to turn off automatically
after a shorter period of inactivity (see
Optimizing
power settings).
• As with any mobile phone, if you are in
an area with no wireless coverage, your
smartphone nevertheless continues to
search for a signal, which consumes
power. Turn off your phone if you are
outside a coverage area (see Turning
your phone off). You can forward calls to
a different number or let all calls be
picked up by voicemail (see Forwarding
calls).
TIP
To go to the Today screen so you can view
the battery icon, press End if you are not on a
phone call. If you’re on a call, press Start and
select Today.
