12.6 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 off the display.

Tap the Battery icon (

) on the Today screen. On the Advanced

tab of the Power settings screen, you can specify when your device

automatically turns off 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 off. Searching for networks consumes a lot of power. For more

information about Wi-Fi, Chapter 10.
