13.6 Battery Saving Tips

How long your battery power lasts depends on battery type and how you use your device. Here are a few tips on saving battery power:

When the device is not in use, press the Power Key to switch off the display.

Tap the battery icon ( ) on the Today screen. On the Advanced tab of the Power settings screen, you can specify when your device automatically turns off the display to conserve battery power. For optimum conservation, specify three minutes or less.

Use the AC phone charger to plug your device into external power 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 Section 4.

When you are out of range of wireless networks, turn Wi-Fi off. Searching for networks consumes a lot of power. For more information, see “Wi-Fi” in Section 11.

Turn Bluetooth off when you are not using it. For more information, see “Using Bluetooth” in Section 11.

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. For more information about ending running programs, see “To close a program” in this Section.
