Extending the Battery Life
Active applications, screen brightness levels, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi
usage and GPS functionality can drain your battery. You can
follow the helpful tips below to conserve your battery power:
Reduce the screen backlight time.
Lower the screen brightness.
Turn Bluetooth off when not in use.
Turn Wi-Fi off when not in use.
Disable the GPS function when not in use. Most applications
using this function will periodically query the GPS satellites
for your current location; each query drains your battery.
When taking pictures, do not use a flash unless you have to.
Powering On/Off
Make sure the battery is charged.
Press and hold the Power Key to turn on your phone.
To turn it off, press and hold the Power Key to open the

documentation included in your original device packaging.
