Maximizing battery life Battery life depends on how you use your smartphone. You can maximize your smartphone's battery life by following a few easy guidelines: • Charge your smartphone whenever you're at your desk, or charge it overnight each day. The battery in your smartphone has a much longer useful life when it is topped off frequently, versus charging it after it is fully drained. • If you spend a lot of time using the camera, games, media players, eBooks, or other applications, keep an eye on the battery icon and charge when necessary. • Your smartphone's wireless features (phone, email, messaging, and web) generally consume more power than the organizer features. If you don't plan to use the wireless features on your smartphone for a while, turn off your wireless services (see Turning wireless services on/off). You can forward calls to a different number or let all calls be picked up by voicemail (see Forwarding calls). To see if other wireless services, such as Bluetooth® wireless technology, are on, tap the phone-off icon, and then select Wireless Manager. • Turn off your smartphone's Bluetooth feature when you do not need to make a Bluetooth connection.
