Battery life
The mobile hotspot, by default, is configured to optimize battery life. Battery life is
affected by:
• Standby time
• Data throughput
• Mobile Broadband signal strength (the better the signal, the longer the battery life)
• Wi-Fi range:
· Standard — Longest battery life
· Boost — Enables you to have connected Wi-Fi devices further from your mobile
hotspot and still connect to your Wi-Fi network, but battery life is shorter
There are several methods you can use to extend the battery life:
• Adjust Wi-Fi settings:
· Shorten the Wi-Fi range — If the devices you are connecting to your Wi-Fi
network are always close to the mobile hotspot device, shorten the Wi-Fi range.
· Set the standby timer to a shorter period — Reduce the amount of time to wait
when no devices are connected to either Wi-Fi network before going into
standby mode (Wi-Fi radio turns off).
• Adjust display settings:
· Dim the screen — Reduce the LCD’s brightness level.
· Set the screen timeout to a shorter period — Reduce the amount of time to wait
without the LCD being touched before turning the screen blank.
