Managing Your Device
This chapter tells you how to effectively manage power, settings, data and
programs of the device.
4.1
Managing Power
A fully charged battery should provide power for up to 8 hours of use. The
operating time of a fully charged battery depends on how you are using the
device. Some functions, such as using GPS navigation, multimedia or phone
features and operating a SD/MMC card, may consume the battery power
considerably.
Low Battery Signals and Actions
CAUTION:
When the battery runs out of power completely, the device turns off automatically.
Charge the battery or replace the old battery immediately. Replacing the battery
needs to be finished in 5 minutes to make sure of the correct system time.
When you charge the battery upon a warning of low power, you should charge for at
least 30 minutes before unplugging the AC adapter. The device may not be able to
turn on during the first few minutes of the charging until the battery power reaches
the protection point of the system.
You can monitor the battery power by tapping Settings System
Power , or tapping the icon on the Today screen. The remaining power is
displayed on a status bar.
When the battery power is low, the device will pop up a warning message.
You should save your data and charge the battery immediately upon a
warning of low power; otherwise the device will turn off automatically. You
need to connect the device to external AC power for charging before you can
use it again.
