Prolong battery life

Many features in your device increase the demand on battery power and reduce the
battery lifetime. To save battery power, note the following:
● Features that use Bluetooth coonectivity, or allowing such features to run in the
background while using other features, increase the demand on battery power.
Deactivate Bluetooth connectivity when you do not need it.
● If you have selected
connection settings, and there is no packet data coverage (GPRS), the device
periodically tries to establish a packet data connection. To prolong the operating
time of your device, select
● The Maps application downloads new map information when you move 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. To set the device to use only the GSM network, select
