Maximizing battery life
Battery life depends on how you use your
smartphone. You can maximize the life of
your battery by following a few easy
guidelines:
• Charge your smartphone whenever
you’re at your desk, or charge it
overnight each day. The battery in your
smartphone has a much longer useful
life when it is topped off frequently
versus when it is charged after it is fully
drained.
• Keep your battery charged. If your
battery becomes fully drained for an
extended period of time, your
smartphone may take up to 20 minutes
to turn on after you begin charging it
using your AC charger.
• If you spend a lot of time using the
camera, games, media players, or other
applications, keep an eye on the battery
icon and charge the battery when
necessary.
• The wireless features of your
smartphone (phone, email, messaging,
GPS, Web, and any other applications
that use a Wi-Fi connection) generally

Have you ever been to a new city and felt a bit lost until you
figured out the streets? Learning to move around on your Treo
Pro Smartphone by Palm is a similar experience. Most
applications that work on your smartphone use the same set of
controls. So once you learn how to use these controls, you’ll be
driving all over town and you won’t even need a map.
