Using Wi-Fi™ technology, Bluetooth™ technology and Microsoft® Direct Push technology
consumes battery power. Turning these functions off, will save the battery power.
Power saving
Animated pictures, music, videos, games and some older types of SIM cards can consume
a lot of battery power. You can improve battery time by closing applications running in the
background and disabling unnecessary functions.
You can also turn on power save mode, in which some settings are changed to increase
the power efficiency.
When you turn on power save mode, the screen brightness is turned down, the back light
automatically turns off after 10 seconds, the phone goes into sleep mode after 40 seconds, and
all other power-intensive communication options are turned off.
By saving power you will contribute to a greener world.

Tap
> Settings > Connections > Communication Manager.

Power save mode can also be turned on or off in the Sony Ericsson panel.
