Extending the Battery Life
Active applications, screen brightness levels, Bluetooth and WiFi 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 auto-sync, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth 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.
• Use the Battery saver feature.

Protecting Your Phone With Encryption

information, and so on. If you do, you must draw an unlock
pattern, or enter a numeric PIN or a password each time you
power on your phone.

WARNING!
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 pattern, PIN or password you set for encryption is controlled by the system administrator.
Before turning on encryption, prepare as follows:
• Set a screen lock pattern, PIN or password.
• Charge the battery.
• Keep the phone connected to the charger.
• Schedule an hour or more for the encryption process: you
