Prolong battery life

Many features in your device increase the demand on battery

power and reduce the battery life time. To save battery

power, observe the following:

Features that use Bluetooth technology, or allowing such

features to run in the background while using other

features, increase the demand on battery power. Switch

off Bluetooth when you do not need it.

Features that use wireless LAN (Wi-Fi), or allowing such

features to run in the background while using other

features, increase the demand on battery power. The Wi-

Fi on your Nokia device switches off when you are not

trying to connect, not connected to another access point,

or not scanning for available networks. To further reduce

battery consumption, you can specify that your device

not scan, or scans less often, for available networks in the

background.

If you have set

The Maps application downloads new map information

when you scroll to new areas on the map, which

increases the demand on battery power. You can prevent

the automatic download of new maps.

If the signal strength of the cellular network varies much

in your area, your device must scan for the available

network repeatedly. This increases the demand on

battery power.
If the network mode is set to dual mode in the network

settings, the device searches for the 3G network. You can

set the device to use only the GSM network. To use only

the GSM network, select
