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 the time your backlight stays on. ● Turn Bluetooth off when not in use. ● Turn Wi-Fi off when not in use. ● Deactivate your GPS functionality 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. ● 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. ● Use the Task Manager feature to end/shutdown background applications that are still running. These minimized applications can, over time, cause your device to "slow down". ● Animated wallpapers use processing power, memory, and more power. Change your Live Wallpaper to a non-animated Wallpaper gallery or Gallery image. Switching the Device On or Off Once the device has been configured, you will not be prompted with setup screens again. To turn the device on: ► Press and hold Power/End until the device switches on. Note: Your device's internal antenna is located along the top back of the device. Do not block the antenna; doing so may affect signal quality and may cause the device to operate at a higher power level than is necessary. Initial Device Configuration 1.
