Prolong battery life
Many features in your device increase the demand on battery
power and reduce the battery lifetime. To save battery
power, note the following:
•
Deactivate Bluetooth technology when you do not need
it. Applications that use Bluetooth technology should be
closed when not needed.
•
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. WLAN
on your device scans available networks as often as
specified in WLAN settings and connects automatically to
the networks that have been used before. To further
reduce battery consumption, you can specify that your
device does not scan, or scans less often, for available
networks in the background.
•
The backlight of the display increases the demand on
battery power. In the display settings, you can adjust the
display brightness and change the length of the time-out
period, after which the backlight switches off. You can
also activate the power saving mode to set the device to
consume less power when the display backlight is on. To
modify display settings, select

•
Leaving applications running in the background
increases the demand on battery power.
