Allow the battery to charge for a while, and you should be able to power the phone on. • The battery will not hold a charge for the way it did when it was new. When the battery life becomes noticeably shorter than usual after being charged properly, replace it with a new battery of the same type. • Using data services will reduce the standby time significantly. • The time required to charge the battery depends on the ambient temperature and the battery life. • When the battery is low on power, the phone plays an alert and displays a prompt. When the battery is extremely low on power, the phone will power off automatically. 2.2.4 Battery Saving Tips The longevity of battery power depends on the network that you connect to, and how you use your mobile phone. Try the following to conserve battery power: • When your mobile phone is not in use, switch off the screen. • Reset the time it takes for your screen light to switch off when you leave your phone idle. • Lower the screen brightness. • Use the AC adapter to plug your phone into an external power source whenever possible. • Turn Bluetooth off when you are not using it. Only make your phone visible to other Bluetooth devices when you need to establish a Bluetooth connection. • Switch off Wi-Fi when you are not using it. 8
