Charging the battery

The phone battery is partly charged when you buy the phone. When you start to charge, it may take a few minutes before the battery icon appears on the screen. You can still use your phone while it is charging.

The battery will start to discharge a little after it is fully charged and then charges again after a certain time. This is to extend battery life and may result in the charge status showing a level below 100 percent, even though the battery is fully charged.

To save energy you can unplug the charger from the wall socket when the phone is fully charged.

Animated pictures, music, videos, games and some older types of SIM cards can consume a lot of battery power. You can improve battery time by closing applications running in the background and disabling unnecessary functions.

You can also turn on power save mode, in which some settings are changed to increase the power efficiency.

When you turn on power save mode, the screen brightness is turned down, the back light automatically turns off after 10 seconds, the phone goes into sleep mode after 40 seconds, and all other power-intensive communication options are turned off.

By saving power you will contribute to a greener world.
