How to extend the life of our battery
1.
If you aren't using Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, or GPS, use the Settings
app to turn them off.
The GPS setting
(if you have GPS on your device)
is located in Settings > Personal >
Location services
2.
Don't leave the Maps or Navigation apps open on the screen when you're not using
them. They use GPS (and thus more power) only when they're running.
3.
Turn down screen brightness and set a shorter Sleep timeout: Settings > Device >
Display.
4.
If you don't need it, turn off automatic syncing for all apps: Settings > Personal >
Accounts & sync. Note that this means you need to sync manually to collect messages,
email, and other recent information, and won't receive notifications when updates
occur.
5.
If you know you won't be near a mobile or Wi-Fi network for a while, switch to Airplane
mode:
a.
Press and hold the power switch until the Tablet options dialog appears. Then
touch Airplane Mode.
