Battery Life
Battery life depends on individual use. Consumption factors include signal strength,
speakerphone use, and use of wireless features.
If the battery drains to the point where your device doesn’t turn on, the device stores your
information safely until you recharge the battery. To avoid draining the battery, we recommend
that you charge and synchronize your device every day, especially if you use the wireless
features of your phone often.
Maximizing Battery Life
You can increase the life of your device’s battery by following a few easy guidelines.
Remember that battery life depends on how you use your device.
䢇 Charge your device whenever you’re at your desk, or charge it overnight each day. The
lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery has a much longer useful life when it is topped off frequently,
versus being charged after it is fully drained.
Note
Using your device’s phone reduces the battery life. You can extend the
battery life by turning off your device’s phone while using the organizer
features. In any case, regular charging is recommended for optimal
performance.
