Battery performance
Standby time is the amount of time the battery can power your phone when calls are not beingreceived or made. The more time your phone is in standby, the longer the battery lasts.
The following tips can help you improve battery performance:••••••••
Charge your phone often.
Downloading data from the Internet is power consuming. Turn off all data connections bydisabling the Data traffic option from the status bar, when you're not using the Internet.Increase the interval between updates or set the interval to manual for applications whichrequire the network connection to be updated continuously.
Turn off GPS, Bluetooth™ and WLAN when you don't need these features. You can turnthem on and off more easily by adding the Power control widget to your Home screen. Youdo not need to turn off 3G.
Lower the screen display brightness.
Turn off your phone or use Flight mode if you are in an area with no network coverage.Otherwise, your phone repeatedly scans for available networks, and this consumes power.Use a handsfree device to listen to music. This consumes less battery power than whenyou listen through the phone's loudspeakers.
Visit www.sonyericsson.com/supportfor an extended User guide. Here you can also find avideo on how to maximise the battery performance.
Lowering the screen display brightness and keeping the Bluetooth™ and WLAN enabled eventhough not in use, have a minor impact on the available battery life.
