Managing Your Device  99

How long your battery power lasts depends on the battery type and how you use 

your device. Try the following to help conserve battery life:

When the device is not in use, press POWER to switch off the display.

  On the Home screen, slide to the Settings tab and then tap All Settings. On 

the System tab, tap Power > Advanced tab of the Power settings screen. 

Here, you can specify the time before your device automatically turns off the 

display and backlight to conserve battery power. For optimum conservation, 

specify  minutes or less.

On the Home screen, slide to the Settings tab and then tap All Settings. On 

the System tab, tap Power > Backlight tab. Clear the Auto adjust backlight 

check box to be able to adjust the backlight brightness settings.

Use the AC adapter to plug your device into an external power outlet 

whenever possible, especially when using a storage card or when using a 

modem or other peripherals.

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 9.

On the Home screen, slide to the Settings tab and then tap 

Communications. On the Comm Manager screen, turn off Wi-Fi or your 

active data connection when not in use.

Tap Start > Settings > Connections tab > Wi-Fi and then tap Wireless 

Networks > Menu > Advanced. From the Turn off Wi-Fi if not connected 

in list, select a timeout period so that Wi-Fi can be automatically turned off 

when your device is not connected to any wireless network for some time.
