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. (See “Changing the
Backlight Time Length” on page 63.)

Turn Bluetooth off when not in use. (See “Turning
Bluetooth On and Off” on page 127.
)

Turn Wi-Fi off when not in use. (See “Turning Wi-Fi
On and Off” on page 160.)

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. (See “Activating Location
Mode” on page 185.)

When taking pictures, do not use a flash unless you
have to. (See “Camera Settings” on page 119.)

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.
