Turn off your device or activate the

Airplane mode

setting if you are in an area with

no network coverage. Otherwise, your device repeatedly scans for available

networks, and this consumes power.

•

Use a Sony™ original handsfree device to listen to music. Handsfree devices

demand less battery power than your device's own loudspeakers.

•

Keep your device in standby whenever possible. Standby time refers to the time

during which your device is connected to the network and is not being used.

keep running when your screen is inactive. Once the screen becomes active again, all

paused functions are resumed.

Estimating the standby time of your device

Standby time refers to the amount of time the battery can last when your device is

connected to the network but is not in active use, for example, to receive or make

phone calls. STAMINA mode, when activated, continuously evaluates the remaining

standby time, which can vary depending on how you use your device. STAMINA

mode is more effective in lengthening the standby time if you keep the screen of your

device locked. If you rarely lock the screen, you may not see much improvement in

battery performance.

When you use your device for the first time, the estimated standby time may not be accurate

since there is no previous usage history to estimate from.

To view the estimated standby time

From your

Home screen

, tap .

Find and tap

Power management

Using Low battery mode

You can activate the

Low-battery mode

feature to save power when the battery level

is low. This feature helps you to adjust the settings for screen brightness, data traffic

and the vibrate function so that you can reduce battery consumption.
