EXTENDING YOUR BATTERY LIFE

Active applications, light levels, Bluetooth usage, and GPS
functionality all drain your battery. The following is a list of helpful
tips that can help conserve your battery power:

● Reduce the time your backlight stays on.

● 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.

● 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.

● Use the Task Manager feature to end/shutdown background

applications that are still running. These minimized applications
can, over time, cause your device to “slow down”.
