11.6 Battery Saving Tips
How long your battery power lasts depends on the battery type, the network that
you connect to, and how you use your phone.
Try the following to conserve battery power:
•
When you don't need 3G services, set your phone to connect to your wireless
service provider's G network. To do this, press HOME > MENU, touch
Settings > Wireless controls > Mobile networks, then select the Prefer 2G
networks option.
•
When your phone is not in use, press END CALL/POWER to switch off the
screen.
•
Select a shorter idle time before the phone screen switches off. See "Display
settings" earlier in this chapter for details.
•
Lower the screen brightness. See "Display settings" earlier in this chapter.
•
Turn Bluetooth off when you are not using it. Make your phone visible to
other phones only when you are trying to establish a Bluetooth partnership.
For more information about Bluetooth, see Chapter 7.
•
Turn Wi-Fi off when you are not using it. For more information about Wi-Fi,
see Chapter 7.
•
Turn off your phone's connection to GPS satellites when not in use. To do this,
press HOME > MENU, touch Settings > Security & location, then clear the
GPS satellites option.
