Managing Your Device

Power-Saving Tips
Follow these suggestions to maximize the battery’s operating time,
particularly when you are relying solely on the battery power for extended
time periods.
Suspend or turn off the device frequently.
By default, the screen backlight will automatically turn off and the
device will also suspend when it has been idle for a period of time. You
can shorten the length of the idle time using
Settings System
Power Advanced
to set up.
Press and hold the Power button for 3 seconds to turn off the device
when it is not in use, even for a short time.
Turn off functions not needed or adjust settings.
Lower the volume.
Do not enable sounds or light flashing except for the most necessary
notifications. Tap
Settings Personal
Sounds & Notifications
to set up.
Remove the SD/MMC card, if installed, from the slot if you are not
using it.
Avoid power-consuming situations such as:
When connecting the device to your desktop computer (Your device
will not auto-suspend while it is connected.)
When using a SD/MMC card
When monitoring Bluetooth transfers (Although you can set the
device to constantly monitor the Bluetooth transfers sent from other
Bluetooth devices, doing so will quickly drain your battery.)
When playing sound or music, or recording
Intense use of e-mail Direct Push
Intense use of MSN Messenger and other always-on connected web
services
