DEVICE FUNCTIONS
EXTENDING YOUR BATTERY LIFE
Active applications, light levels, Bluetooth usage, and GPS
functionality all act to drain your battery. The following is a list
of helpful tips that can help conserve your battery power:
● Reduce your backlight on time.
● Turn Bluetooth off when not in use.
● Turn Wi-Fi off when not in use.
● Deactivate the GPS when not needed. Most applications
using this function will periodically query the GPS satellites
for your current location; each query drains your battery.
● Do not wait until your battery is completely depleted before
charging your device. Repeating this process of a complete
discharge and recharge can over time reduce the storage
capacity of any battery.
● Turn off Automatic application sync.
● Use the Power Control Widget to deactivate hardware
functions such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, Synchronization, or
LCD brightness setting.
