In honor of Earth Day, we decided to bring you a few tips that should help you save energy and be environmentally friendly using your Nokia devices.
1.Save Energy by unplugging: Nokia has added a feature to newer devices where it instructs the user to “unplug charger from power supply to save energy.” This also counts for older device where you don’t get this message. It seems that when leaving the charger plugged in (not connected to the phone), it will still consume some energy, consequently energy is being wasted. By unplugging your charger from the wall outlet when your device is fully charged, you save energy. Considering that there are Millions and perhaps Billions of Nokia devices out there, you can see how quickly the amounts of energy adds up.
2.Use Nokia’s line of High Efficiency Chargers: Nokia’s High Efficiency Chargers AC-15, AC-10 and AC-8 are environmentally friendly chargers. These chargers received a 5-star rating for energy saving as it consumes minimal power if left plugged in after the battery has fully charged, this is based on common energy-rating system for chargers. Tip number 1 still applies, but just in case you do forget to unplug your charger, you’d be happy to know that these consume a fraction of the energy when compared to other chargers. Some newer device like the N900 already come with these efficient chargers.
3.Change your phone settings: By lowering your backlight brightness and time-out, update interval for your Nokia Nokia Messaging, Close applications when not needed (Yes multi-tasking uses power and energy), switch off W-fi when not needed, set search interval for Wi-fi to “Never” and turn of Bluetooth when not in use, we can not only have a longer battery but also consume less energy.
