08 Managing Your Device
13.6 Battery Saving Tips
How long your battery power lasts depends on the battery type and how you
use your device. Try the following to help conserve battery life:
•
When the device is not in use, press POWER to switch off the display.
•
Tap Start > Settings > System tab > Power to open the Power
settings screen. On the Advanced tab of the Power settings screen,
you can specify the time before your device automatically turns off
the display to conserve battery power. For optimum conservation,
specify minutes or less.
• Use the AC adapter to plug your device into an external power outlet
whenever possible, especially when using a storage card or when
using a modem or other peripherals.
•
Adjust the backlight settings. For more information, see “To set the
backlight to dim after a time delay” in Chapter .
•
Turn Bluetooth off when you are not using it. Make your device visible
to other devices only when you are trying to establish a Bluetooth
partnership. For more information about Bluetooth, see Chapter 10.
•
Turn Wi-Fi off when not in use. For more information about Wi-Fi, see
Chapter 10.
•
Lower the volume.
•
Close battery-intensive programs, such as the Camera, when you are
done using them. Make sure the programs are ended and are not
continuously running in the background. Refer to “Using Task Manager”
in this chapter for information on closing programs.
