Extending Your Battery Life
Active applications, light levels, Bluetooth usage and GPS
functionality all act to drain your battery. The following is a list of
helpful tips that can help conserve your battery power:
•
Reduce your backlight time. See “Changing the Backlight Time
Length” on page 55.
•
Turn Bluetooth off when not in use. See “Turning Bluetooth On and Off”
on page 108.
•
Turn Wi-Fi off when not in use.
•
Deactivate the GPS when not needed. Most applications using this
function will periodically query the GPS satellites for your current
location; each query drains your battery. See “Activating Location
Mode” on page 121.
•
When taking pictures, do not use a flash unless you have to. See
“Camera Settings” on page 102.
•
Do not wait until your battery is completely depleted before charging
your device. Repeating this process of a complete discharge and
recharge can over time reduce the storage capacity of the battery.
