10The Basics

Optimizing Battery Life

You can extend your battery’s life between charges by turning off features that run in the background. You can also monitor how applications and system resources consume battery power.

Tips to extend the life of your battery

㻌Turn off radio communications that you aren’t using. If you aren’t using Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or GPS, use the Settings menu to turn them off (Note that the GPS receiver is only turned on when you’re using an application that makes use of it).

㻌Turn down screen brightness and set a shorter screen timeout.

㻌Turn off automatic syncing for Gmail, Calendar, Contacts, and other applications if you don’t need it.

㻌Use the Battery saver feature (accessed in the Settings menu) to control data activity, Wi-Fi connection, Bluetooth connection, and power used for the device such as screen brightness and notification light.

NOTES • Allowing other devices to use your device's hotspot connection will drain your battery more quickly.

•If you accidently press the Power/Lock Key while the device is in your pocket, the screen will turn off automatically in order to save battery power.

To check the battery charge level

From the Home screen, tap the Apps Key > Settings > Battery.

The battery level (as a percentage of fully charged) and the battery status (Charging or Discharging) is displayed at the top of the screen.

Checkmark the Battery percentage checkbox to display the percentage of remaining battery charge on the Status Bar next to the battery icon.

Tap Battery saver to view and/or modify your Battery saver settings.
