2.7 Important Information About the
Battery
• If the battery has not been used for a long time, you may not be able to power on your mobile phone immediately after you begin charging the battery. Allow the battery to charge for a few minutes with the phone powered off before attempting to power the phone on.
• As it ages, the battery’s performance will degrade, in particular it will not hold charge as it did when it was new. When the battery life becomes noticeably shorter than usual after being charged properly, replace the battery with a new one of the same type.
• Using data services increases the power consumption of the phone and will therefore reduce the length of time that the phone can be used between battery charges.
• The time required to fully charge the battery depends on the ambient temperature and the age of the battery.
• When the battery power is low, the phone will alert you and display a message. When the battery power is almost exhausted, your phone will power off automatically.

2.8 Power Saving Tips

The longevity of battery power depends on the network to which you connect, and how you use your mobile phone. Try the following to conserve battery power:
• When your mobile phone is not in use, turn off the screen backlight.
• Reduce the time it takes for your screen backlight to turn off when your phone is idle.
• Lower the screen brightness.
• Turn off Bluetooth when you are not using it. Only make your phone visible to other Bluetooth devices when you need to establish a Bluetooth connection.
• Turn off Wi-Fi when you are not using it.
• Turn off your phone’s GPS receiver when you are not using it.

10 Synchronizing Information

Some applications on your mobile phone give you access to the same personal information that you can add, view, and edit on your computer. If you add, change, or delete your information in any of these applications on the web, the updated information also appears on your mobile phone. This is made possible through over-the-air data synchronization. The process occurs in the background and does not interfere with use of your mobile phone. When your phone is synchronizing, a data synchronization icon will be shown in the notification bar.

10.1 Managing Your Accounts

You can synchronize contacts, email, and other information on your mobile phone with multiple Google accounts or other kinds of accounts, depending on the applications installed on your mobile phone. For example, you can start by adding your personal Google account, so your personal email, contacts, and calendar are always available. You could then add a work account, so your work-related emails and work contacts are handy. If you like, you may add multiple Google accounts or other accounts.

10.1.1 Adding an Account
