Charging the battery
Your phone’s battery should have enough power for the phone to turn on, find a signal, and make a few calls. You should fully charge the battery as soon as possible.
If the battery is low, there will be a pop-up message on the screen. As you charge your phone, the lock screen will show you the exact battery level on the status bar.
WARNING!
Use only approved chargers and cables. The use of unapproved accessories could damage your phone or cause the battery to explode.
CAUTION:
Do not change the built-in rechargeable battery in your phone by yourself. If your battery needs to be replaced, please co ntact Vodacom customer support.

or ,
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 Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and auto-sync 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, and each query drains your battery.

> Settings > Security >
Screen lock.

3. For Pattern, PIN, or Password lock, select how you want notifications and their contents to show when the phone is locked. Then touch DONE.
NOTE: Remember the pattern, PIN or password you set. Otherwise, you will have to upgrade the phone software to use the phone.
Protecting your phone with encryption
You can encrypt all the data on your phone: your accounts, application data, music and other media, downloaded 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! Encryption is irreversible. The only way to revert to an unencrypted phone is to perform a factory data reset, which erases all your data.
24
Page 25
Encryption provides additional protection in case your phone is stolen, and may be required or recommended in some organisations. 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
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 > Encrypt phone.
2. Read the information about encryption carefully. The ENCRYPT PHONE button is dimmed if your battery is
not charged or your phone's not plugged in. If you change your mind about encrypting your phone,
touch the Back key.
WARN ING!
If you interrupt the encryption process, you will lose data.
3. Touch ENCRYPT PHONE.
4. Draw your screen lock pattern or enter your PIN or password,
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 completed, you're prompted to draw the unlock pattern, or enter your PIN or password.
Subsequently you must draw your unlock pattern, or enter your PIN or password each time you power on your phone in order to decrypt it.
