Tips to maximize battery performance

Some functions in your phone may consume more battery, leading to a shorter battery time. In order to maximize your battery performance, make sure you switch off functions you don’t use, such as Bluetooth™, and lower the screen brightness.

To decrease the brightness of the screen:

1. From the Home screen, find and tap Settings > Sound & display.
2. Scroll to Display settings and tap Brightness.
3. To decrease the screen brightness, drag the slider to the left.
4. Tap OK.

To turn off Bluetooth™:

1. From the Home screen, find and tap Settings > Wireless & networks.
2. Unmark the Bluetooth check box.

Other useful tips to maximise battery performance:

• Only use location services when needed.
• Turn off push email and synchronize your mailboxes manually.
• Minimise the use of third-party applications.
• Charge your phone often. The battery lasts longer if you charge it frequently.
• If you are in an area with no coverage, your phone repeatedly scans for available networks. This consumes power. If you can’t move to an area with better coverage, turn off your phone temporarily or use Flight mode.
• Turn off 3G, Bluetooth™ wireless technology and the Wi-Fi™ connection when you do not need these functions.
• Don’t cover the phone antenna when you are engaged in a call or when transferring data. The antenna is located at the back of phone
• Browse the web with Wi-Fi™ rather than mobile data networks, and turn off Wi-Fi™ when not in use.
• Close running applications when not in use.
