Battery Tips
We know your phone is a lifeline. Use these tips to help stay connected at all times.
- Turn off Bluetooth® when you are not using it.
- Reduce the backlight brightness and backlight timeout features if this feature is available on your phone. You can do this through your phone settings.
- Keep the battery charged. Batteries last longer if they are consistently charged before they are completely dead. You may want to create a dedicated "charging station" where you live. Plug your phone in every night. You'll always know where it is in the morning.
- Protect the handset from temperature extremes. Avoid leaving your phone in the car in the winter or on hot, sunny days.
- Carry your phone in a way that protects the keypad from being bumped and keying in random numbers or letters. You may want to use a belt clip, holster, or your phone's keypad lock feature.
- Use chargers from your phone's manufacturer to avoid possible damage to your battery.
