Battery life
Battery life depends on individual usage. When used as a smartphone,
your smartphone battery provides up to 4.7 hours of talk time or up to
15 days of standby time.
Maximizing battery life
You can increase your smartphone’s battery life by following a few easy
guidelines. Remember that battery life depends on how you use your
smartphone.
• Charge your smartphone whenever you’re at your desk, or charge
it overnight each day. The battery in your smartphone has a much
longer useful life when it is topped off frequently, versus charging
it after it is fully drained.
• 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.
• Your smartphone’s wireless features (phone, email, messaging, and
web) generally consume more power than the organizer features.
If you don’t plan to use the wireless features on your smartphone
for a while, turn off your wireless services (see “Turning Wireless
Services On/Off” on page 200). You can forward calls to a different
number or let all calls be picked up by voicemail (see “Forwarding
calls” on page 53). To see if your wireless services are on, tap the
phone-off icon
, and then select Wireless Manager.
• Turn off your smartphone’s Bluetooth ® wireless technology feature
when you do not need to make a Bluetooth connection.
Before You Begin [ ! ]
You must charge your
smartphone fully
before using it the
first time. Wait until
the indicator light
turns solid green,
which may take up to
3.5 hours.
Tip
If the battery is fully
drained, it may take a
few moments for the
indicator light to turn
on while charging.
