Shortened standby timeThe duration of standby 
time is affected by your

configuration. The same 
device used with different 
service providers' systems 
does not have the same 
duration of standby time.If you are located in an area 
where the network signal is 
weak, temporarily turn off 
your device.
If you are not able to 
connect to the network, the 
device will continue to send 
out signals as it attempts to 
locate a base station. Doing 
this consumes battery 
charge and consequently 
shortens standby time.Change your location to 
one where the network is 
accessible, or temporarily 
turn off your device.
