Chapter 6
Managing Your
Device
This chapter tells you how to manage power and configure your device.
Managing Power
The operating time of a fully charged battery depends on how you are using
the device. Some functions, such as using multimedia or operating an SD
card, may consume the battery power considerably.
Low Battery Signals and Actions
CAUTION: When you recharge the battery upon a warning of low power,
you should charge for at least 30 minutes. If you unplug the AC adapter
soon, you may not have sufficient battery power for your operation.
The battery status (charging or discharging) and level (as a percentage of
fully charged) are displayed at the top of the screen. To check the battery
information, go to Settings Battery.
You should save your data and recharge the battery immediately upon a
warning of low power; otherwise your device will turn off automatically.
You need to connect the device to external AC power for charging before
you can use it again.
32
Power-Saving Tips
You can extend your battery’s life between charges by turning off features
that you don’t need. You can also monitor how applications and system
resources consume battery power.
Turn off radios that you aren’t using.
Lower the screen brightness and set a shorter screen timeout.
Lower the volume.
If you don’t need it, turn off automatic syncing for all applications.
Avoid power-consuming applications. To check which applications
consume the most battery power, go to the Home screen, go to Settings
Battery.

Chapter 7
Care and Maintenance
This chapter provides guidelines on taking care of your device.
Resetting Your Device
To restart the device, press and hold the Reset Switch (shown below) for
more than 5 seconds.
Alternatively, you can force the device to power off by pressing and holding
the power button for more than 10 seconds. Then turn it on again.
Caring for Your Device
Taking good care of your device will ensure trouble-free operation and
reduce the risk of damage to your device.
Keep your device away from excessive moisture and extreme
temperatures.
Avoid exposing your device to direct sunlight or strong ultraviolet light
for extended periods of time.
Do not place anything on top of your device or drop objects on your
device.
37
Do not drop your device or subject it to severe shock.
Do not subject your device to sudden and severe temperature changes.
This could cause moisture condensation inside the unit, which could
damage your device. In the event of moisture condensation, allow your
device to dry out completely before use.
The screen surface can easily be scratched. Avoid touching it with sharp
objects. Non-adhesive generic screen protectors designed specifically for
use on portable devices with LCD panels may be used to help protect the
screen from minor scratches.
