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.
Powering On/Off
Make sure the battery is charged.
Press and hold the Power Key to turn on your phone.
To turn it off, press and hold the Power Key to open the options menu. Touch Power off and then touch OK.

If you touch PIN or Password, you’re prompted to set a numeric PIN or a password you must enter to unlock your screen.
25
Long press, which provide no security. Face Unlock provides minimal security, although it can be more convenient than the stronger options.
Protecting Your Phone With Encryption
You can encrypt all the data on your phone: Google Accounts, application data, music and other media, downloaded information, and so on. If you do, you must enter a numeric PIN or password each time you power on your phone.
WARNING! Encryption is irreversible. The only way to revert to an unencrypted phone is to perform a factory data reset, which erases all your data.
Encryption provides additional protection in case your phone is stolen, and may be required or recommended in some organizations. Consult your system administrator before turning it on. In many cases the PIN or password you set for encryption is controlled by the system administrator.
Before turning on encryption, prepare as follows:
1. Set a lock screen PIN or password.
2. Charge the battery.
3. Keep the phone connected to the charger.
4. Schedule an hour or more for the encryption process: you must not interrupt it or you will lose some or all of your data.
When you're ready to turn on encryption:
1. Touch the Home Key > Menu Key > System settings >
Security > Encrypt phone.
26
2. Read the information about encryption carefully. The Encrypt phone button is dimmed if your battery's not
charged or your phone's not plugged in. If you change your mind about encrypting your phone, touch
the Back Key. WARNING! If you interrupt the encryption process, you will
lose data.
3. Touch Encrypt phone.
4. Enter your lock screen PIN or password and touch Next.
5. Touch Encrypt phone again.
The encryption process starts. Encryption can take an hour or more, during which time your phone may restart several times.
When encryption is complete, you're prompted to enter your PIN or password.
Subsequently, you must enter your PIN or password each time you power on your phone, to decrypt it.
