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 charger soon, you may
not have sufficient battery power for your operation.
To check the battery level, go to the Home screen, press the menu key on your
device, and tap Settings  About phone  Status. The battery status (charging
or discharging) and level (as a percentage of fully charged) are displayed at
the top of the screen.
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.
