When the battery gets very low, the phone turns off the backlight to reduce the power consumption.
17
Getting started
If the phone is nearly out of battery power, it shows the “Main Battery Very Low” message. In this case, you cannot perform a synchronisation without connecting the phone to a power source and the phone doesn’t give you any instructions for saving data. Connect the adapter to the phone immediately.
Adjusting the power settings
You can conserve battery power by adjusting the Power settings. During standby, the phone goes to Sleep mode after a specified period of time of inactivity, so very little power is being consumed. This helps to preserve programmes and data stored in the RAM.
A lower setting increases the usable battery time. A higher setting decreases the usable battery time and allocates it for standby usage.
To adjust the power setting:
1.From the Start menu, tap Settings → System tab → Power.
2.Select the power settings:
In the Battery tab, check the remaining amount of battery power.
In the Advanced tab, set whether or not the phone turns off the backlight after the specific period of time when the phone is inactive and the main battery is being used as the power
