HTC TyTN User Guide

Managing Your PDA Phone  

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 Start > Settings > System tab > Power to open the Power 

settings 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  

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 .

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, see Chapter 10.

Turn Bluetooth off when you are not using it. Make your device visible 

to other devices only when you are trying to establish a Bluetooth 

partnership. For more information about Bluetooth, see Chapter 10.

Lower the volume.

Close battery-intensive programs, such as the Camera, when you are 

done using them. Make sure the programs are ended and are not 

continuously running in the background.
