•Charge your smartphone whenever you’re at your desk, or charge it overnight. The Li-ion battery has a much longer useful life when it is topped off frequently, versus charging it after it is fully drained.

•Your smartphone’s wireless features (phone, email, messaging, and web) and media features (camera, media players, eBooks, and games) consume more power than its organizer features. If you spend a lot of time using the wireless and media features, keep an eye on the battery icon and charge when necessary.

•If you don’t plan to use the wireless features on your smartphone for a while, turn off your phone (see Turning your phone on and off) and let all calls be picked up by voicemail.

•As with any mobile phone, if you are in an area with no wireless coverage, your smartphone searches for a signal, which consumes power. If you cannot move to an area of better coverage, temporarily turn off your phone. While your phone is off, you can continue to use your smartphone’s nonwireless features.

•Turn down the screen brightness (see Adjusting the brightness).

•Decrease the settings in Power Preferences and turn off Beam Receive (see Optimizing power settings).

•Turn off the Bluetooth® feature if you’re not using it. See Connecting to a Bluetooth hands-free device.
