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 on time. • Turn Bluetooth off when not in use. • 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. • 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 any battery. • Turn off Automatic application sync. • Use the Power Saving feature to deactivate some hardware and interface functions. • Check the Battery use screen to review what features or functions have been consuming your battery resources. • Check the Running Services and close any unnecessary applications. 18
