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:

Switch off Bluetooth when you do not need it.

Applications that use Bluetooth technology should be

closed when not needed.

Features that use wireless LAN (WLAN), or allowing such

features to run in the background while using other

features, increase the demand on battery power. WLAN

on your device scans available networks as often as

specified in WLAN settings and connects automatically to

the networks that have been used before. To further

reduce battery consumption, you can specify that your

device not scan, or scans less often, for available

networks in the background.

The backlight of the display increases the demand on

battery power. In the display settings, you can adjust the

display brightness and change the length of the time-out

period, after which the backlight switches off. You can

also activate the power saving mode to set the device to

consume less power when the display backlight is on. To

edit display settings, select
