Bluetooth power drain

Does anyone know how much relative power the Motorola RAZR phones (I
use a V3) draw from their battery when enabled for Bluetooth
hands-free operation?

Since July 1, it has been illegal to use a handheld cell phone while
driving and a handsfree device is required. I use a Motorola T505
speakerphone device.

Ever since I started to use this device, my RAZR runs down in about 2
days (mostly standby time). I recently changed the battery so there
is a new one being used.


Best,

Bob

It uses even more power if it's searching for a Blue Tooth device and
cant find one (like when you're not driving).

The nurses answer my phone when I am operating.... :-)

Thanks for the tips.

I was under the impression that it stops searching when you turn off
the Bluetooth source. If not, how do you turn off (the phone) when
you leave the car?
