How to Maximize Battery Life
► Entering characters, storing files, gaming, using the Internet, and playing video and music files will greatly reduce battery
life.
► In idle mode, using images and/or animations will decrease battery life by 20–30%.
► Enabling button or flip sound effects, or frequent opening and closing of the flip will reduce battery life considerably.
► Use of Slot Mode will reduce battery life.
✻
What is Slot Mode? Within a wireless network, a mobile device will periodically communicate with the network. Frequent
communication will occur, resulting in reduced battery life in Slot Mode. Once communication with the wireless network is
established, the frequency of communication will be about 2.5–5 times higher.
► When the device is not in a service area, its battery life will decrease as it will constantly check for a signal.
► Weak signals or overlapping channels in an area will waste battery life, as the mobile service will continue to configure and
connect.
► Answering and ending calls often will result in faster expenditure of battery life.
► Lengthy calls will consume battery life.
► Continual use of the battery will slowly reduce its lifespan over time.
► After the battery charge is used up, the battery icon will indicate the discharged state. The device will emit a warning sound
and then shut off. The battery must be charged to turn the device on again.
