How can I extend battery life?
Battery life varies depending on how you use your BlackBerry device. To help battery power last longer, here are some
considerations:
Dim the screen
Prolong battery life by changing your device settings to dim the screen.
Do any of the following:
• To adjust the screen brightness, choose a dark-colored wallpaper, or change the screen lock timeout, on the home
screen, swipe down from the top of the screen. Tap
• To automatically lock your device and dim the screen when it's in a BlackBerry case or holster, on the home screen,
swipe down from the top of the screen. Tap
When Holstered.
Decrease volume
Do any of the following:
• To decrease the device volume, use the volume keys on the right side of your device.
• To adjust other volume settings such as application volume or notifications, on the home screen, swipe down from the
top of the screen. Tap

Close apps

Increase how long a single charge lasts by closing any apps or features that you finished using so that they aren't
continuously running in the background. Some features consume more battery power than others. Close or turn off these
apps and features when you don't use them: The camera, the BlackBerry Browser, GPS, and Bluetooth technology.
Turn off connections
If your device is out of a wireless coverage area, you can turn off the connection so that your device doesn't search for a
network signal continuously. You can also help extend battery life by deleting saved Wi-Fi networks that you no longer use.
Do any of the following:
Settings > Security and Privacy > Device Password > Lock Device
Settings > Main Volume or Notifications.
Settings > Display.
