IMEI number

Every phone has a unique IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identity) number. You should keep a copy of this number. If your phone is stolen, your network provider can use your IMEI number to stop the phone from accessing the network in your country.

Troubleshooting

Battery performance

The standby time is defined as the time when the phone is connected to one network operator and located in a place where it has full network coverage and a strong signal strength. The standby time may vary depending on your position in the network and the signal strength. The more time your phone is in standby, the more the battery lasts.

The following tips will help you improve battery performance:

•

Charge your phone often.

•

Turn off WLAN and Wi-Fi® when not using these functions. You do not need to turn off 3G.

•

Some of the applications from the Android™ Market affect your battery performance. It is recommended to check, which applications consumes more battery in the battery usage menu in the phone, which can be accessed from Settings > About phone.

•

Set synchronisation applications like RoadSync™ in the phone to synchronise manually. You can synchronise automatically but change the intervals.

•

It is recommended to reduce the update frequency or set it to manual for applications which require that the network connection is updated continuously, such as Facebook™ and Twitter™.

•

If you are not using applications that use GPS, such as Google Maps™, you should disable GPS.

•

It is recommended to temporarily turn off your phone, if you are in an area with no network coverage. Otherwise, your phone repeatedly scans for available networks, which consumes power.

•

Add the Power control widget to the Home screen to easily turn on and off Wi-Fi®, Bluetooth™ wireless technology, GPS, background data and display brightness.

To add the Power control widget, press , then tap

Arrange widgets > Add widget and select Power Control.
