Your device is powered by a rechargeable Li-ion
battery. A wall charger, which is used for charging
the battery, is included with your device. Use only
approved batteries and chargers. Ask your local
T-Mobile dealer for further details.

EXTENDING YOUR BATTERY LIFE
The following is a list of helpful tips that can help
conserve your battery power:
●Reduce your backlight on time.
●Turn Bluetooth®off when not in use.
●Turn Wi-Fi®off when not in use.
●Deactivate the GPS when not needed. Most
applications using this function will periodically
query the GPS satellites for your current location;
each query drains your battery.
●Do not wait until your battery is completely
depleted before charging your device. Repeating
this process of a complete discharge and
recharge can, over time, reduce the storage
capacity of any battery.
●Turn off Automatic application sync.
●Use the Power Saving feature to deactivate some
hardware and interface functions.
●Check the Running Services and close any
unnecessary applications.
●Use the Task manager feature to end/shutdown
background applications that are still running.
These minimized applications can, over time,
cause your device to “slow down”.
