Blackberry Passport - Manual (Page 134)

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:
• To turn off a connection, on the home screen, swipe down from the top of the screen. Tap Settings > Networks
and Connections.
• To delete a saved Wi-Fi network, on the home screen, swipe down from the top of the screen. Tap Settings >
Networks and Connections > Wi-Fi > . Tap and hold the network that you want to delete. Tap .
Update your software
You can often gain a boost in power savings by using the latest version of the BlackBerry 10 OS. If a software update is
available for your device, a notification appears in the BlackBerry Hub.
Use a media card
Reduce power usage by keeping less data on your device. Save data to a media card instead of your device storage space.
Turn off the flash
Conserve more power by turning off the flash when taking pictures.
Tip: Like most electronic devices, your device battery drains less quickly if you keep it out of the sun and other hot places,
keep the battery contacts clean, and charge it regularly. Avoid leaving your device turned off with a low battery power level
for an extended time.
