How Does It Work?Based on the intelligence of the human hearing system, the technology:• Captures, evaluates and distinguishes all the sound signals surrounding your phone, and the person you're speaking with. • Then isolates the primary voice in conversation and filters out the background noise - so the person you're calling hears only your voice, without disturbing background noise.• Dynamically equalizes and adjusts voice volume to optimize your calling experience, so you can hear clearly and don't need to speak louder to overcome surrounding noise. The noise suppression technology is built-in and already enabled in your new mobile phone. So it's ready to provide unsurpassed voice clarity with every call.

Most applications using this function will periodically query the GPS satellites for your current location; each query drains your battery. • Do not wait until your battery is completely depleted before charging your device. Repeating this process of a complete discharge and recharge can over time reduce the storage capacity of any battery. • Turn off Automatic application sync. • Use the Power Saving feature to deactivate some hardware and interface functions. • Check the Battery use screen to review what features or functions have been consuming your battery resources.• Check the Running Services and close any unnecessary applications.
16• Use the Task Manager feature to end/shutdown background applications that are still running.
