2.2.3 Important Information About the Battery
•
•
•
If the battery has not been used for a long time, you may not be able to power on
your mobile phone immediately after you begin charging the battery. Allow the
battery to charge for a few minutes with the phone powered off before attempting
to power the phone on.
As it ages, thebattery’sperformance will degrade, in particular it will not hold charge
as it did when it was new. When the battery life becomes noticeably shorter than
usual after being charged properly, replace the battery with a new one of the same
type.
Using data services increases the power consumption of the phone and will
therefore reduce the length of time that the phone can be used between battery
charges.
•
•
The time required to fully charge the battery depends on the ambient temperature
and the age of the battery.
When the battery power is low, the phone will alert you and display a message.
When the battery power is almost exhausted, your phone will power off
automatically.

10 Synchronizing Information
Some applications on your mobile phone give you access to the same personal
information that you can add, view, and edit on your computer. If you add, change, or
delete your information in any of these applications on the web, the updated
information also appears on your mobile phone.
This is made possible through over-the-air data synchronization. The process occurs
in the background and does not interfere with use of your mobile phone. When your
phone is synchronizing, a data synchronization icon will be shown in the notification
bar.

10.1 Managing Your Accounts
You can synchronize contacts, email, and other information on your mobile phone
with multiple Google accounts or other kinds of accounts, depending on the
applications installed on your mobile phone.
For example, you can start by adding your personal Google account, so your
personal email, contacts, and calendar are always available. You could then add a
work account, so your work-related emails and work contacts are handy. If you like,
you may add multiple Google accounts or other accounts.

configure what kind of data you want to synchronize to the mobile phone, to name
