12.6 Battery Saving Tips

How long your battery power lasts depends on battery type and how you use your device. Try the following to
help preserve battery life:
•
When the device is not in use, press POWER to switch off the display.
• Open the Power Settings screen by tapping Start > Settings > System tab > Power. On the Advanced
tab of the Power settings screen, you can specify when your device automatically turns off the display
to conserve battery power. For optimum conservation, specify 3 minutes or less.
•
Use the AC adapter to plug your device into external power whenever possible, especially when using a
storage card or when using a modem or other peripherals.
•
Adjust the backlight settings. For more information, see "To set the backlight to dim after a time delay"
in Chapter 4.
•
Turn Bluetooth off when you are not using it. Make your device visible to other devices only when you
are trying to establish a Bluetooth partnership. For more information about Bluetooth, see Chapter 10.
•
Lower the volume.
•
Close battery-intensive programs, such as the Camera, when you are done using them. Make sure the
programs are ended and are not continuously running in the background.
