Battery tips Your phone is like a small computer, giving you a lot of information and apps, at 3G speed, with a touch display! Depending on what you use, that can take a lot of power. To start getting the most out of your battery, touch Menu > Settings > Battery Manager > Battery Profile. Choose Performance mode for constant data transfer and battery use, Battery Saver Mode when your battery is low, or Smart mode if you want to set Battery Profile Options that limit your data and wireless connections during off-peak hours. To save even more battery life between charges, you could reduce: • recording or watching videos, listening to music, or taking pictures. • widgets that stream information to your home screen, like news or weather ("Use & change your home screen" on page 7). • GPS, Wi-Fi™, and Bluetooth™ use: Touch and hold an empty spot on your home screen, then touch Android widget > Bluetooth toggle, Wi-Fi toggle or GPS toggle to view and control. • network searching: if you are out of coverage, to keep your phone from looking for networks, press and hold Power to open the Power key menu, then touch Airplane mode. • display brightness: in the home screen touch Menu > Settings > Sound & display > Brightness > (dimmer setting). • display timeout delay: in the home screen touch Menu > Settings > Sound & display > Screen timeout > (shorter setting). 26 Tips & tricks
