Battery Indicator
The battery indicator
in the upper-right corner of the display indicates battery power
level. Four bars indicate a full charge while one bar indicates an almost empty battery.
Two to three minutes before the battery becomes too low to operate, a blinking empty
battery icon
appears and a tone sounds. If you continue to operate the phone
without charging, it shuts down.
Checking Battery Charge
Keeping track of the battery’s charge is important. If the battery level becomes too low,
your phone automatically shuts down and you could lose important data.
•
For a quick check of your battery level, tap the battery icon
to display the
main battery’s remaining battery power.
Battery Capacity
When the battery is low, a warning window displays and the backlight turns off.
Note
: Long backlight settings, simultaneous use of Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, searching for
service, vibrate mode and browser use affect the battery’s talk and standby times.
There is also an internal backup battery that saves all phone settings if the regular battery
is discharged. The internal battery maintains data for approximately four hours. This
internal backup battery needs an initial charge of 24 hours.
Perform ActiveSync operations or use a backup utility frequently to avoid losing any
information in case the battery is fully discharged. For more information see
"Synchronization" on page 117.
