Maximizing battery life
Battery life depends on how you use your
smartphone. You can maximize the life of
your battery by following a few easy
guidelines:
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 when it is charged after it is fully
drained.
Keep your battery charged. If your
•
battery becomes fully drained for an
extended period of time, your
smartphone may take up to 20 minutes
to turn on after you begin charging it
using your AC charger.
If you spend a lot of time using the
•
camera, games, media players, or other
applications, keep an eye on the battery
icon and charge the battery when
necessary.

•
smartphone (phone, email, messaging,
GPS, Web, and any other applications
that use a Wi-Fi connection) generally
