Prolong battery life
Many features in your device increase the demand on
battery power and reduce the battery life time. To save
battery power, observe the following:
●Features that use Bluetooth technology, or allowing
such features to run in the background while using
other features, increase the demand on battery
power. Switch off Bluetooth when you do not need
it.
●Features that use wireless LAN (WLAN), or allowing
such features to run in the background while using
other features, increase the demand on battery
power. The WLAN on your Nokia device switches off

when you are not trying to connect, not connected
to another access point, or not scanning for
available networks. To further reduce battery
consumption, you can specify that your device not
scan, or scans less often, for available networks in
the background.
●If you have set Packet data connection to When
available in connection settings, and there is no
packet data coverage (GPRS), the device periodically
tries to establish a packet data connection. To
prolong the operating time of your device, select
Packet data connection > When needed.
●The Maps application downloads new map
information when you scroll to new areas on the
map, which increases the demand on battery power.
You can prevent the automatic download of new
maps.

much in your area, your device must scan for the
available network repeatedly. This increases the
demand on battery power.
If the network mode is set to dual mode in the

network. You can set the device to use only the GSM
network. To use only the GSM network, select
Menu > Settings and Connectivity > Network >
Network mode > GSM.

which the backlight is switched off, and adjust the
light sensor that observes lighting conditions and
adjusts the display brightness. Select Menu >
Settings and Phone > Display > Light time-
out or Brightness.
