Battery and Power Tips

Battery life varies depending on how you use your smartphone. To help battery power last longer, try any of the following:

•Use the power-saving options in your smartphone settings. To adjust the screen brightness or change the screen lock timeout, on the home screen, swipe down from the top of the screen. Tap Settings > Display.

•Turn down the smartphone volume with the volume keys. To adjust other volume settings, on the home screen, swipe down from the top of the screen. Tap Settings > System Volume or Notifications.

•Close any apps or features that you are finished using. Some features consume more battery power than others and should be closed or turned off when not in use.

•If your smartphone is out of a network coverage area, turn off the connection. To turn off or change network connections, on the home screen, swipe down from the top of the screen. Tap Settings > Network Connections.

•Use the latest software for your smartphone.

If an update is available, a notification appears in BlackBerry Hub.

•Save data to a memory card instead of your smartphone storage.

•Turn off the camera flash.

Tip: Like most electronic devices, your smartphone battery will drain less quickly if you keep it out of the sun and other hot places, keep the contacts clean, and charge it regularly. Avoid leaving your smartphone turned off with a low battery power level for an extended period.
