Low Battery Indicator

When the battery level is low and only a few minutes of talk
time remain (~15% charge), a warning tone sounds and the
“Battery low” message repeats at regular intervals on the
display. In this condition, your device conserves its remaining
battery power, by dimming the backlight.

When the battery level becomes too low, the device
automatically turns off.

The on-screen battery charge is represented (by default) as a
colored battery icon. You can also choose to display a
percentage value. Having a percentage value on-screen can
provide a better idea of the remaining charge on the battery.

Ⅲ Press

and then tap Settings

Device tab ➔ Display Show battery percentage.

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 the time your backlight stays on.

Turn Bluetooth off when not in use.

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.

Use the Power Saving feature to deactivate some hardware and

interface functions.

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.
