Extend Battery Life
The mobile router, by default, is configured to optimize battery life. The following factors
affect battery life:
•
Screen brightness.
•
Standby time.
•
Data throughput.
•
Mobile broadband signal strength (the better the signal, the longer the battery life).
•
WiFi range.
To extend the battery life, use any of the following methods:
•
Adjust WiFi settings.
•
Adjust display settings.
•
Use tethered USB.
Adjust WiFi Settings to Optimize Battery Life
Set the standby timer to a shorter period to minimize the wait time when no devices are
connected to either WiFi network before going into standby mode (the WiFi radios turn
off).
Note: When you change the WiFi settings, any devices connected to the mobile router
are disconnected and might need to be reconnected.
You can set the following WiFi options to optimize battery life:
•
Adjust the display settings. See Set the Display to Increase Battery Life From the
Mobile Router Web Page on page 43.
•
Set the WiFi standby to 5 minutes.
Set the Display to Increase Battery Life From the Mobile
Router
Dim the screen to reduce the LCD screen’s brightness level. Set the screen time-out to
a shorter period to reduce the amount of time the mobile router waits without the LCD
screen being touched before the screen turns blank.
