•  As it ages, the battery’s performance will degrade, in particular it will not hold charge 
as it did when it was new. When the battery life becomes noticeably shorter than 
usual after being charged properly, replace the battery with a new one of the same 
type.
•  Using data services increases the power consumption of the phone and will 
therefore reduce the length of time that the phone can be used between battery 
charges.
•  The time required to fully charge the battery depends on the ambient temperature 
and the age of the battery.
•  When the battery power is low, the phone will alert you and display a message. 
When the battery power is almost exhausted, your phone will power off 
automatically.
2.2.5  Power Saving Tips 
The longevity of battery power depends on the network to which you connect, and 
how you use your mobile phone.
Try the following to conserve battery power:
•  When you do not need 3G services, set your phone to connect to a 2G network.
•  When your mobile phone is not in use, turn off the screen backlight.
•  Reduce the time it takes for your screen backlight to turn off when your phone is 
idle.
•  Lower the screen brightness.
•  Turn off Bluetooth when you are not using it. Only make your phone visible to other 
Bluetooth devices when you need to establish a Bluetooth connection.
•  Turn off Wi-Fi when you are not using it.
