Hi Nancy, I just wanted to clarify a couple of points. The phone actually does not automatically go into Low Power Mode. If you use the phone you get a low battery warning at 20% and at 10%, with each of these warnings which pop up on the screen whenever you unlock your phone and it is at one of these levels, you have the option to just close the warning or to put the phone in low power mode. Even with the phone in low power mode you can still receive and make phone calls and all that, but the phone does disable some things which consume battery such as push email (if you have it set up), it locks quicker and so on. You can always check your battery level by touching the status bar at the top on the very right side or, if you touch in the middle where the time is, just flick right a couple of times and you will get to the battery level readout, Voiceover will say your battery level in percent.
As Donald said, if your phone shuts down due to low battery and it then reboots when it's charging, you do have to enter your passcode before Touch Id works again. Whenever you set up the phone and if you set up Touch Id you would have selected either a 4-digit or 6-digit passcode. Lastly, if the phone shuts down because it runs out of battery, it can take several minutes after you plug it in before it starts back up. It is not like a laptop or other electronic device which after it is plugged in you can immediately start up again. However, once plugged in Voiceover should come back after a couple of minutes or, if it was rreally dead, it could take maybe up to 5 minutes.

Hi Nancy, to cover some of your questions, the phone would have shut down when down that much, so you have to put in your password before again being able to use your thumb print. When the phone is that low, it goes to a low power mode which means that not everything works. Since I listen to my New York sports teams on the phone, it's real easy to discharge the battery pretty much, so I try to remember to plug it in when I head off to bed. -----Original Message----- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Nancy Sent: Tuesday, October 4, 2016 1:17 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: My SE quit...what do I do? Hi All, This morning I was talking with a friend...for a couple of hours...and all of a sudden my phone died. I know that yesterday morning it was down to about 40% and I used it several times yesterday and my friend called this morning. At least once in the past the SE has told me that I needed to recharge it and that was at 20%. While we were talking, I didn't hear SE say to recharge, but I do remember a sort of different sound. We kept talking and before too long, SE just up and quit. I plugged it in and nothing happened. Siri would not answer me. I used the on/off button on the top right...and be ore long SE started making noises. Siri would still not speak to me. I tried using my thumb print ID to get started again, but no luck. It kept asking for my password. How do I know when the phone needs to be recharged before it just quits? Did that strange noise I heard mean 'recharge me'? Since I use the phone only for making and answering calls, why do I need to enter a password that I have no idea how to enter? Please help.
