adapter is inserted with the correct orientation. Do not
force the connector into the charger jack.
2. Connect the charger to a standard AC wall outlet.

or property damage.

Extending the Battery Life
Active applications, screen brightness levels, Bluetooth and
Wi-Fi usage and GPS functionality can drain your battery.
You can follow the helpful tips below to conserve your battery
power:
• Reduce the screen backlight time.
• Lower the screen brightness.
• Turn Bluetooth off when not in use.
• Turn Wi-Fi off when not in use.
• Disable the GPS function when not in use. Most
applications using this function will periodically query the
GPS satellites for your current location; each query drains
your battery.
• When taking pictures, do not use a flash unless you have
to.
