䡲 A flashing red indicator light means the battery is low.

䡲 A solid green indicator light means the battery is fully

charged.

With the Kyocera-approved Li-Ion battery, you can recharge the battery before it becomes completely run down.

Extending Your Battery Life

Active applications, backlight levels, and Bluetooth and GPS use all contribute to draining your battery. The following is a list of helpful tips that can help conserve your battery’s charge:

䢇 Reduce your backlight on time. See “Changing the Backlight

Time Length” and “Changing the Key Backlight Time Length” on page 34.

䢇 Turn Bluetooth off when not in use. See “Turning Bluetooth On

and Off” on page 71.

䢇 Turn Wi-Fi off when not in use. See “Turning Wi-Fi On and Off”

on page 90.

䢇 Turn GPS off when not needed. Most applications using this

function will periodically query the GPS satellites for your current location; each query drains your battery. See “Location Settings” on page 35.

䢇 Do not wait until your battery is completely depleted before

charging your device. Repeated complete discharging and recharging can reduce the storage capacity of any battery over time.

䢇 Turn off Automatic application sync. See “Synchronizing

Accounts” on page 35.

䢇 Add a Power Control Widget to your Home screen to deactivate

features such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, and synchronization and to reduce the screen’s brightness setting. See “Adding an Item” on page 17.

䢇 Check running services and close any unnecessary

applications. See “To view and control currently running services:” on page 44.

WARNING: Do not remove the battery while it is charging. Always

remove the charger from the wall outlet first before removing the USB cable from the device.
