7.2 Extending battery life
• If Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or GPS are not in use, disable or deactivate
the function. The GPS setting is located in Settings >
Personal > Location services.
• Don't leave the Maps or Navigation apps open on the screen
when not in use. They use GPS (and thus more power) only
when they're running.
• Turn down screen brightness and set a shorter Sleep timeout:
Settings > Device > Display.
• 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.
• If a mobile or Wi-Fi network is inaccessible, switch to Airplane
