If the Battery Runs Low
When the battery is low, you will see a battery icon ( - main battery low, - main battery very low) in the status bar of the
screen and a pop up screen to tell you to recharge the battery as soon as possible. The battery is split into two parts: main battery
and backup battery. When the main battery is discharged your device will power off. However, the backup battery will preserve
your data for 72 hrs. If the backup battery is discharged completely, you run the risk of losing the data that has been synchronized
with ActiveSync and all applications that you have installed on your SX56.
Immediately Plug Into an External Power Source
Use the AC adapter to plug your SX56 into external power whenever possible, especially when:
x

x Using the frontlight feature of your SX56 display.
x Connecting to a PC.
x Letting the notification light flash for extended periods.

buttons are pressed. To optimize battery life, turn off any sounds you do not need. Tap and then Settings. On the Personal
tab, tap Sounds & Reminders and clear check boxes on the Volume and Reminders tabs.

If You Set a Password, and Then Forget What It Is
If you forget your password, you will need to clear memory on the SX56. See Reset the device and clear memory earlier in this
appendix.
If You Run Out of Memory
Memory on your device is shared between storage memory and program memory. Storage memory is used to store the
information you create and programs you install. Program memory is used to run programs on your device. SX56 automatically
manages the allocation between storage and program memory. However, in some situations, such as when memory is low, SX56
may not be able to automatically adjust the allocation. If you receive a message stating that storage or program memory is
unavailable, try the following solutions.
Clear Some Space in Your Device’s Storage Memory
