You can conserve battery life by minimizing use of the keyboard
backlight feature and by choosing a lower Auto-off setting which
automatically turns the phone off after a period of inactivity. See
page 196 and page 10 for more information.
ᮣ
If the battery becomes low in the course of normal use, an alert
appears on the phone screen describing the low battery condition. If
this alert appears, connect your phone to the HotSync cable or travel
charger to charge the battery.
ᮣ
If the battery drains to the point where your phone does not turn on,
it stores your data safely for about three days. In this case, there is
enough residual energy in the battery to store the data, but not
enough to turn on your phone. If your phone does not turn on when
you press the power button, you should charge the battery
immediately.
ᮣ
If you leave a drained battery in your phone for an extended period
of time, you can lose all of the stored data. If this happens, charge
the battery and use the reset button to reset your phone as described
in the next section. After you reset your phone, perform a HotSync
operation to restore the data from your computer.
Resetting your phone
Under normal circumstances, you will not have to use the reset button.
On rare occasions, however, your phone may no longer respond to
buttons or the screen. In this case, you need to perform a reset to get your
phone running again.
Performing a soft reset
A soft reset tells your phone to stop what it’s doing and start over again.
All records and entries stored in your phone are retained with a soft reset.
After a soft reset, the Welcome screen appears, followed by the General
Preferences screen (to set time and date).
