Extending the Battery Life
Active applications, screen brightness levels, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi usage and GPS functionality can drain your
battery. You can follow the helpful tips below to conserve your battery power:
•
Reduce the screen backlight time.
•
Lower the screen brightness.
•
Turn Bluetooth off when not in use.
•
Turn Wi-Fi off when not in use.
•
Disable the GPS function when not in use. Most applications using this function will periodically query the GPS
satellites for your current location; each query drains your battery.
•
When taking pictures, do not use a flash unless you have to.
