Maximizing battery
life
Battery life depends on how you use your
smartphone. You can maximize the life of
your battery by following a few easy
guidelines:
• Charge your smartphone whenever
you’re at your desk, or charge it
overnight. The Li-Ion battery has a much
longer useful life when it is topped off
frequently, versus charging it after it is
fully drained.
• Your smartphone’s wireless features
(phone, email, messaging, and web)
and media features (camera, media
players, eBooks, and games) consume
more power than its organizer features.
If you spend a lot of time using the
wireless and media features, keep an
eye on the battery icon and charge
when necessary.
• If you don’t plan to use the wireless
features on your smartphone for a
while, turn off your phone (see Turning
your phone on and off) and let all calls
be picked up by voicemail.
• As with any mobile phone, if you are in
an area with no wireless coverage, your
smartphone searches for a signal, which
consumes power. If you cannot move to
an area of better coverage, temporarily
turn off your phone. While your phone is
off, you can continue to use your
smartphone’s nonwireless features.
TIP To see exactly how much power is left in
your battery, tap the onscreen battery icon.
TIP You can buy an extra battery as a spare for
long airplane trips or periods of heavy use. To
purchase batteries that are compatible with
your smartphone, go to www.palm.com/
