application on the receiving device. For example, if you send a calendar event to a
compatible phone, the event is shown in that phone’s calendar application.
 If you send another file type to a Windows computer, it is normally saved in the Bluetooth
Exchange folder within your personal document folders.
On Windows XP, the path may be: C:\Documents and Settings\[your username]\My
Documents\Bluetooth Exchange
On Windows Vista, the path may be: C:\Users\[your username]\Documents
 If you send a file to another device, the saved location may depend on the file type. For
example, if you send an image file to another mobile phone, it may be saved in a folder
named “Images”.

example, if you open a music track, it starts playing in the Music application.
 For a vCalendar file, select the calendar where you want to save the event, and then
tap Import. The vCalendar is added to your Calendar events. For information on using
Calendar, see the Calendar chapter.

Optimizing your phone’s battery life
When you’re on the go, it’s not always easy to charge your phone’s battery as often as you’d
like. Follow these tips to extend the time between charges:
 Turn off wireless functions such as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and data connection when you’re not
using them. See the Internet and Bluetooth chapters for details.
 Use only 2G networks. See “Using the 2G network of your mobile operator” in this chapter
for details
 Do not use GPS satellites to determine your GPS location. See the Maps & Location
chapter for details.
 Lower the screen brightness. See “Adjusting the screen brightness manually” in this
chapter for details.
 Switch off screen animations. See “Switching animation effects on or off” in this chapter
for details
 Cut down on activities such as Internet browsing. Wireless data consumes a lot of power.
 Avoid making very long phone calls or using the camera for extended periods of time.
 Consider carrying a spare battery for times when you can’t charge your battery for an
extended period.
 Batteries gradually lose storage capacity over time. Consider replacing your battery after
eight months to a year, or if you notice that the battery life is decreasing.
Using the 2G network of your mobile operator
Switch to using the 2G network of your mobile operator if you are not using a data
connection to connect to the Internet. Connecting to your mobile operator’s 2G network
consumes less battery power.
1. Press HOME > MENU, and then tap Settings > Wireless & networks.
2. Scroll down the screen, and then tap Mobile networks.
3. Select the Use only 2G networks check box.
Checking the power usage of applications
1. Press HOME > MENU, and then tap Settings.
2. Scroll down the screen, and then tap About phone > Battery > Battery use.

Backup, update and reset
Backing up phone data
Your phone features an automatic backup system that backs up your web browser
bookmarks, messages, dictionary, and settings, to the microSD card. The phone automatically
backs up the data whenever a change occurs.
The phone backs up the following data:
 SMS and MMS messages
 Messages application settings
 Web browser (the Internet application) bookmarks
 Keyboard dictionary
 Settings
 Wireless & networks
 Sound & display
 Location
 Applications
 Date & time
 Language & keyboard - Only Locale setting
You need a microSD card installed on your phone to back up phone data. See “Inserting the storage
card” in the Basics chapter to learn how to install a microSD card to your phone.
Checking if automatic backup is enabled
1. Press HOME > MENU, and then tap Settings.
2. Scroll down the screen, and then tap Privacy > Back up my data.
3. Make sure that the Back up my data check box is selected.
Restoring backed up data to your phone
After you do a factory reset or update your phone, you will be asked if you want to restore
the backed up data after you turn on your phone.
Make sure that the microSD card where you backed up the data is installed on the phone.
1. After you do a factory reset or update your phone system software, wait for the phone to
restart.
2. When there is a valid back up file in the microSD card, the Restore my data and settings
dialog box will appear. When you see this dialog box, tap OK.
206
Backup, update and reset
Updating your phone’s system software
From time to time, system software updates for your phone may be available. Your phone
can check and then notify you if an update is available. You can then download and install
the update to your phone.
Depending on the type of update, the update may erase all your personal data and
customized settings, and also remove any programs you have installed. Make sure that you
have backed up the information and files you want to keep. See “Backing up phone data” in
this chapter for details.
Checking and downloading system software updates may incur additional data transfer fees from your
mobile operator.
1. When there is an update available, the Install system software update dialog box will
appear onscreen.
2. On the dialog box, select Install now, and then tap OK.
Select Install later if you want to install the system update at a later time. When you are ready to
install, open the Notifications panel, and then tap System update is ready.
3. Wait for the update process to finish. When the update is finished, the phone will
automatically reset.
Checking for phone system software updates manually
1. Press HOME > MENU, then tap Settings.
2. Scroll down the screen, and then tap About phone > System software updates.
3. On the System software update screen, tap Check now.

Performing a hard/factory reset
You can return your phone to its original state, as it was when it left the factory. This is also
called a hard reset. You might want to do this if you are giving your phone to a friend or
relative and you want to remove all your data first, or if your phone has a persistent problem
that is not solved by powering off the phone and then powering it on again.
A factory reset is a drastic measure. It permanently erases all your personal data and
customized settings, and also removes any programs you have installed. Make sure that you
have backed up the information and files you want to keep.
If your phone hangs or freezes, we recommend that you do a “soft” reset instead of a hard/factory
reset. To perform a soft reset, remove the battery, wait for a few seconds, and then re-install it. After
re-installing the battery, turn on the phone.
Performing a factory reset via settings
The most convenient way to do a factory reset is via the phone settings.
1. Press HOME > MENU, then tap Settings.
2. Scroll down the screen, and then tap SD card & phone storage > Factory data reset.
3. On the Factory data reset screen, tap Reset phone, and then tap Erase everything.
Performing a factory reset using phone buttons
If you cannot turn on your phone or access the phone settings, you can still perform a
factory reset by using the buttons on the phone.
1. With the phone turned off, press and hold the VOLUME DOWN button, and then briefly
press the POWER button.
2. Wait for the screen with the 3 Android images to appear, and then release the VOLUME
DOWN button.
3. Press VOLUME DOWN to select CLEAR STORAGE, and then press POWER.
4. When asked to confirm, press VOLUME UP.
