battery power and reduce the battery life time. To save
battery power, note the following:
Features that use Bluetooth technology, or allowing
●
such features to run in the background while using
other features, increase the demand on battery
power. Turn Bluetooth technology off when you do
not need it.

other features, increase the demand on battery
power. WLAN on your Nokia device switches off
when you are not trying to connect, not connected

you can specify that your device does not scan, or
scans less often, for available networks in the

available network repeatedly. This increases the
demand on battery power.
