Reduce battery consumption
Here are some tips on how you may extend the phone's battery power by
reducing battery consumption.
•
Charge your phone often, preferably every day. Charging does not af-
fect the lifetime of the battery.
• When not downloading data from the Internet, which is power con-
suming, disable data connections over mobile networks. Data is still
transmitted over Wi-Fi.
•
Turn off Wi-Fi when not in use. Use the notification panel to disable
the features.
• Turn off Bluetooth when not in use. Use the notification panel to dis-
able the features.
•
Deactivate auto-syncing of apps and synchronise your applications
manually, like your email, calendar and contacts.
•
Use the Battery status menu in your device to see which applica-
tions use the most power.
•
Decrease the screen brightness, see The screen brightness, p.32.
•
When in areas with no network coverage, turn off your device or acti-
vate the Aeroplane mode. The device repeatedly scans for available
networks which consumes power. See Aeroplane mode, p.36.
•
The GPS is also quite battery consuming. If you want to stop apps re-
porting on your location automatically, make sure that Location re-
porting is off, see How to turn off GPS location services, p.74.
• Use Doro original handsfree devices to listen to music. Handsfree
devices consume less battery than your device's own loudspeakers.
•
Lock the screen when not in use, press the Power button and your
display goes to sleep. See Lock screen, p.12.
