NOTE Use the power adapter and Micro-USB cable included with your accessories. Other power adapters and Micro-USB cables may charge more slowly or not at all.

The Sero 7 also charges slowly when you connect it to the USB port on your computer. The battery may drain instead of charge when the battery usage is large.

Check the Level and Details of Battery

You can check the percentage of battery in the Notification Tray, or you can go to Settings > Device

>Battery to check the details of battery. The list at the bottom of the screen shows the breakdown of battery usage for individual apps and services. Tap a graph for more details.

Extend the Life of Battery

You can extend your battery’s life between charges by turning off features that you don’t need. You can also monitor how apps and system resources consume battery power.

If you aren’t using Wi-Fi, you can turn it off.

Turn down screen brightness and set a shorter screen timeout: Settings > Device > Display.

If you don’t need it, turn off automatic syncing for all apps: Settings > Accounts > [Google account- name]. This means you need to sync manually to collect messages, email, and other recent information, and won’t receive notifications when updates occur.
