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 Saving feature to deactivate some hardware and interface
functions.
•
Check the Battery use screen to review what features or functions have
been consuming your battery resources.
•
Check the Running Services and close any unnecessary applications.
