Power Control

Active applications, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, Synchronization,

(turn on) or deactivate (turn off) those functions or
applications that use the most battery power.
The following is a list of helpful tips that can help conserve
your battery power:
•
Reduce your backlight time.
•
Turn off Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and Synchronization when not in use.

Deactivate the GPS when it is not needed. Most applications that
use this function periodically query the GPS satellites for the

(such as Music Player).
