Managing Your T-Mobile G

0.6 Battery Saving Tips

How long your battery power lasts depends on the battery type, the network that
you connect to, and how you use your T-Mobile G.
Try the following to conserve battery power:
When you don't need 3G services, set your phone to connect to a T-Mobile's 2G

network. To do this, press HOME > MENU, tap Settings > Wireless controls >
Mobile networks, then select the Prefer 2G networks option.
When your T-Mobile G is not in use, press END CALL/POWER to switch off

the screen.
Select a shorter idle time before the phone screen switches off. See "Display

settings" earlier in this chapter.
Lower the screen brightness. See "Display settings" earlier in this chapter.

Use the AC adapter to plug your T-Mobile G into an external power outlet

whenever possible.
Turn Bluetooth off when you are not using it. Make your T-Mobile G visible to

other devices only when you are trying to establish a Bluetooth partnership. For
more information about Bluetooth, see Chapter 7.
Turn Wi-Fi off when you are not using it. For more information about Wi-Fi, see

Chapter 7.
Turn off your phone connection to GPS satellites when not in use. To do this,

press HOME > MENU, tap Settings > Security & location, then clear the GPS
satellites option. For more information, see "Maps" in Chapter 8.
Lower the volume.

Close battery-intensive programs, such as the Camera, when you are done

using them.
