Maximizing battery life
The battery in your device cannot be removed.
Battery life depends on how you use your device. You can maximize the
life of your battery by following a few easy guidelines:
• Charge your device whenever you can. Charge it overnight.
• Set your screen to turn off automatically after a shorter period of
inactivity (see Set the interval for turning the screen off automatically).
• Keep your battery away from direct sunlight and other sources of heat.
Temperatures over 104 degrees Fahrenheit (40 degrees Celsius) can
permanently reduce the capacity and life span of any lithium-ion
battery.
• If you set up an email account in the Email application, set the interval
to automatically download email to every two hours or less frequently
(see Enter advanced account settings).
• Lower the screen brightness (see Turn auto dim on/off).
• Keep in mind that frequent use of instant messaging (IM) can reduce
battery life. Sign out of your IM account when you are not using it (see
Sign out of an IM account).
• Shut down the device completely when you won’t be using it for an
extended period of time (see Shut down your device).
Set up your device
BEFORE YOU BEGIN Make sure the battery is fully charged (see Charge the
battery).
1 Press and hold the power button on the upper-right corner of your
device until you see a logo on the screen (approximately five
seconds).
2 Follow the onscreen instructions to complete setup. If you need to
start setup over, tap Start Over in the lower-left corner of any screen.
NOTE At the beginning of setup, you select a language for your device. This
language sets the default formats for currency, date and time, and so on. If your

and then do the following: Open Regional Settings. Tap Formats and select
your region. For more information, see Change the display formats.

you want. If prompted, enter the network username and/or
password and tap Sign In. If the network name doesn’t appear, see
Connect to a new secure network for instructions on connecting to a
hidden network.
