Checking Battery Charge
Keeping track of the battery’s charge is important. If the
battery level becomes too low, your phone automatically
shuts down and you could lose important data. For a
quick check of your phone’s battery level, tap the time
located in the upper right corner of the screen. A battery
icon is displayed in the Time and Next Appointment
window.
To perform a battery check using the drop down menu:
1. Tap Start located in the upper left corner of the screen.
2. Tap Settings.
3. Tap the System tab at the bottom of the screen.
4. Tap Power.
Battery Capacity
When the battery becomes low, a warning window
displays and the backlight turns off.
Note: Long backlight settings, searching for service, vibrate mode and
browser use affect the battery’s talk and standby times.
There is also an internal backup battery that saves all
settings in the phone if the regular battery is discharged.
An internal backup battery needs an initial charge of 24
hours.
The internal battery maintains data for about four hours.
Perform ActiveSync operations or a backup utility
frequently to avoid loosing any information in case the
battery is fully discharged. For more information see
"ActiveSync®" on page 138.
