smartphone has a much longer useful
life when it is topped off frequently,
versus charging it after it is fully drained.
If you spend a lot of time using the
•
camera, games, media players, eBooks,
or other applications, keep an eye on
the battery icon and charge when
necessary.
Your smartphone's wireless features
•
(phone, email, messaging, and web)
generally consume more power than
the organizer features. If you don't plan
to use the wireless features on your
smartphone for a while, turn off your
wireless services (see "Turning
wireless services on/off" on page 111).
You can forward calls to a different
number or let all calls be picked up by
voicemail. To see if your wireless
services are on, tap the phone-off
icon, and then select Wireless
Manager.
Turn off your smartphone's Bluetooth
•
wireless technology feature when you
do not need to make a Bluetooth
connection.
As with any wireless phone, if you are in
•
an area with no wireless coverage, your
26
M A I N T A I N I N G T H E B A T T E R Y
smartphone searches for a signal, which
consumes power. If you cannot move to
an area of better coverage, temporarily
turn off your phone (see "Turning your
phone on and off" on page 9).
Turn down the screen brightness (see
•
"Adjusting the brightness" on
page 106).
Set your screen to turn off automatically
•
after a shorter period of inactivity (see
the Using Your Palm
more information).
Keep your battery away from direct
•
sunlight and other sources of heat.
Temperatures over 120 degrees
Fahrenheit (50 degrees Celsius) can
permanently reduce the capacity and
life span of any lithium-ion battery.
If you are using Direct Push technology
•
(MSFP) for email, set your device to
sync every 30 minutes or more. Email
synchronization can quickly consume
®
battery power.
