    battery power and reduce the battery lifetime. To save
    battery power, note the following:
    •Features that use Bluetooth technology, or allowing
    such features to run in the background while using
    other features, increase the demand on battery power.
    Deactivate Bluetooth technology when you do not need
    it.
    •Features that use wireless LAN (WLAN), or allowing such
    features to run in the background while using other
    features, increase the demand on battery power. WLAN
    on your Nokia device deactivates when you are not
    trying to connect, not connected to an access point, or
    not scanning for available networks. To further reduce
    battery consumption, you can specify that your device
    does not scan, or scans less often, for available
    networks in the background.

    panel > Settings and Connection > Packet data >
    Packet data connection > When needed.
    •The Maps application downloads new map information
    when you scroll to new areas on the map, which
    increases the demand on battery power. You can
    prevent the automatic download of new maps.
    •If the signal strength of the cellular network varies
    much in your area, your device must scan for the
    available network repeatedly. This increases the
    demand on battery power.
    If the network mode is set to dual mode in the network
    settings, the device searches for the 3G network. You
    can set the device to use only the GSM network. To use
    only the GSM network, select Menu > Ctrl. panel >
    Settings and Phone >  Network >  Network mode >
    GSM.
    •The backlight of the display increases the demand on
    battery power. In the display settings, you can change
    the length of the time-out period after which the
    backlight is switched off. Select Menu > Ctrl. panel >
    Settings and General > Personalisation >
    Display > Light time-out. To adjust the light sensor
    that observes lighting conditions and adjusts the
    display brightness, in the display settings, select Light
    sensor.
    •To save power, activate the power save mode. Press the
    power key, and select Activate power saving. To
    deactivate it, press the power key, and select

    change the settings of certain applications when the
    power save mode is activated.Free memoryTo view how much memory is available for different data
    types, select Menu > Office > File mgr..
    Many features of the device use memory to store data. The
    device notifies you if available memory is low.
    To free memory, transfer data to an alternative memory
    (if available) or compatible computer.
    To remove data you no longer need, use File manager or
    the respective application. You can remove the following:
    •Messages in the folders in Messaging and retrieved e-
    mail messages from the mailbox
    •Saved web pages
    •Contact information
    •Calendar notes
    •Applications shown in Application manager that you do
    not need
    •Installation files (with .sis or .sisx file extensions) of
    installed applications. Back up the installation files to a
    compatible computer.
    •Images and video clips in Photos.
