Battery Life
Battery life depends on individual use. Consumption factors include signal
strength, speakerphone use, and use of wireless features.
If the battery drains to the point where your device doesn’t turn on, the device
stores your information safely until you recharge the battery. To avoid draining
the battery, we recommend that you charge and synchronize your device every
day, especially if you use the wireless features of your phone often.
Note:
Using your device’s phone has an effect on the battery life. You can extend the
battery life by turning off your device’s phone while using the organizer
features. In any case, regular charging is recommended for optimal
performance.
Maximizing Battery Life
You can increase the life of your Treo 700P smart device battery by following a few
easy guidelines. Remember that battery life depends on how you use your device.
䢇 Charge your device whenever you’re at your desk, or charge it overnight each
day. The Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) battery has a much longer useful life when it is
topped off frequently, versus charging it after it is fully drained.
䢇 Your device’s wireless features (phone, email, messaging, Web, and any
applications that use a Sprint Power Vision
and media features (camera, media players, eBooks, and games) consume
more power than its organizer features. If you spend a lot of time using the
wireless and media features, keep an eye on the battery icon and charge
when necessary.
䢇 If you don’t plan to use the wireless features on your device for awhile, turn
off your phone (see “Turning Your Device’s Phone On and Off” on page 55).
16 Section 1A: Device Setup
SM
connection, such as Sprint TV)
You can forward calls to a different number or let all calls be picked up by
voicemail (see “Call Forwarding” on page 73).
䢇 As with any mobile phone, if you are in an area with no wireless coverage,
your device searches for a signal, which consumes power. If you cannot move
to an area of better coverage, you may want to temporarily turn off your
phone. While your phone is off, you can continue to use your device’s
nonwireless features.
䢇 Turn down the screen brightness (see “Adjusting the Brightness” on
page 286).
䢇 Decrease the settings in Power Preferences and turn off Beam Receive (see
“Optimizing Power Settings” on page 296).
䢇 Turn off the Bluetooth® feature if you are not using it (see “Connecting to a
Bluetooth Hands-Free Device” on page 84).
