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:
●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 Automatic application sync off.
DEviCE FUNCTiONS

any unnecessary applications.
●Use the Task Manager feature to end/
shutdown background applications
