144 Managing Your Device

13.9 Battery Saving Tips

How long your battery power lasts depends on the battery type and how you use your device. Try the

following to help conserve battery life:

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

On the Home screen, slide to the

Settings tab and then tap All Settings. On the System tab, tap

Power > Advanced tab of the Power settings screen. Here, you can specify the time before your device

automatically turns off the display and backlight to conserve battery power. For optimum conservation,

specify 3 minutes or less.

On the Home screen, slide to the

Settings tab and then tap All Settings. On the System tab, tap Power

> Backlight tab to adjust the backlight brightness settings.

Use the AC adapter to plug your device into an external power outlet whenever possible, especially

when using a modem or other peripherals.

Turn Bluetooth off when you are not using it. Make your device visible to other devices only when you

are trying to establish a Bluetooth partnership. For more information about Bluetooth, see Chapter 9.

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. Refer to “Using Task

Manager” in this chapter for information on closing programs.
