plug from the AC wall outlet, then disconnect the charger's
connector from the phone.
Important!: If your handset has a touch screen display, please note that a
touch screen responds best to a light touch from the pad of your
finger or a non-metallic stylus. Using excessive force or a metallic
object when pressing on the touch screen may damage the
tempered glass surface and void the warranty. For more
information, refer to "Warranty Information" on page 190.
Low Battery Indicator
When the battery level is low and only a few minutes of talk time
remain, a warning tone sounds and the "Low battery" message
repeats at regular intervals on the display. In this condition, your
phone conserves its remaining battery power, by dimming the
backlight.
When the battery level becomes too low, the phone automatically
turns off.

Extending Your Battery Life

Active applications, light levels, Bluetooth usage, and GPS
functionality all act to drain your battery. The following is a list of
helpful tips that can help conserve your battery power:
Reduce your backlight on time.
Turn Bluetooth off when not in use.
12
Turn Wi-Fi off when not in use.
Deactivate the GPS when not needed. Most applications using this
function will periodically query the GPS satellites for your current
location; each query drains your battery.
Do not wait until your battery is completely depleted before charging
your device. Repeating this process of a complete discharge and
recharge can over time reduce the storage capacity of any battery.
Turn off Automatic application sync.
Use the Power Savings Widget to deactivate hardware functions such as
Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, Synchronization, or LCD brightness setting.
Check the Battery use screen to review what features or functions have
been consuming your battery resources.
Check the Running Services and close any unnecessary applications.
Use the Task Manager feature to end/shutdown background applications
that are still running. These minimized applications can, over time,
cause your device to "slow down".
Turn off any streaming services after use.
Animated wallpapers use processing power, memory, and more power.
Change your Live wallpaper to a non-animated Wallpaper gallery or
Gallery image.
