13.7 Battery Saving Tips

How long your battery power lasts depends on battery type and how you

use your device. Try the following to help preserve battery life:

• When the device is not in use, press POWER to switch o the display.

• Tap Start > Settings > System tab > Power to open the Power

settings screen. On the Advanced tab of the Power settings screen,

you can specify when your device automatically turns o the display

to conserve battery power. For optimum conservation, specify 3

minutes or less.

• Use the AC adapter 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 Chapter 4.

• When you know you are out of range of your Wi-Fi networks, turn

Wi-Fi o. Searching for networks consumes a lot of power. For more

information about Wi-Fi, see Chapter 10.

• Turn Bluetooth o 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 10.

• 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.
