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.
