The Basics

Port on your phone and connect the other end to a USB port on your PC. It
is best to use the rear USB port when connecting to a desktop PC. The USB
hub should be powered by an external power source.

Optimizing Life

You can extend your battery’s life between charges by turning off features
that run in the background. You can also monitor how applications and
system resources consume battery power.

 From the Home screen, touch the Apps Key > Settings >

Apps > Running tab and select the items that are no longer in use
and touch Stop.

Tips to extend the life of your battery

 Turn off radio communications that you aren’t using. If you aren’t

using Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or GPS, use the Settings menu to turn them
off (Note that the GPS receiver is only turned on when you’re using an
application that makes use of it).

 Turn down screen brightness and set a shorter screen timeout.

 Turn off automatic syncing for Gmail, Calendar, Contacts, and other

applications if you don’t need it.

 Use the Power Control widget to control the wireless connections,

GPS connection, Bluetooth power, display brightness, and syncing
activity.

To check the battery charge level

 From the Home screen, touch the Apps Key > Settings >

About phone > Battery.
The battery status (Charging or Discharging) and level (as a percentage
of fully charged) will be displayed at the top of the screen.
