The Basics 19 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.  Touch the Applications Key > Settings > Applications > Running services and select the items that are no longer in use and close them. 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 Power Control widget to control the wireless connections, GPS connection, Bluetooth power, display brightness, and syncing activity. To check the battery charge level 㻌  Touch the Applications Key > Settings > About phone > Status. The battery status (Charging or Discharging) and level (as a percentage of fully charged) will be displayed at the top of the screen.
