Extending Battery Life
● When you’re not using the device, turn it off, or end the 3G/4G connection. (Click Disconnect on
the home page or in the Mini Window.)
● Connect the device through the micro-USB cable to your computer, and disable Wi-Fi. (See
“Disabling Wi-Fi When Connected Through USB” on page 90.)
● Adjust the LCD — do one or more of the following:
䡲 Turn the LCD off (Advanced Settings > Device > Display > LCD Backlight).
䡲 Decrease the brightness of the LCD (Advanced Settings > Device > Display > Backlight
Settings
> On Battery/USB Power).
䡲 Set the LCD to turn off sooner. (See “Setting the LCD Timeout” on page 67.)
● Configure the setting (for when battery powered or connected via USB) to “Short Wi-Fi Range”
(
Advanced Settings > Wi-Fi > Network > Battery or USB Powered).
● Enable standby (low power) mode. (See “Standby (Low Power) Mode” on page 45.)
● Turn off the lighting of the power button (that is, LED) (Advanced Settings > Device >
Display > Power Button LED).
● Limit the number of Wi-Fi users (Advanced Settings > Wi-Fi > Network > Max Number of Users).
● If you have 3G but not 4G coverage, set WAN mode to “3G only” (Advanced Settings > WAN >
Setup
> WAN Mode).
● Set Wi-Fi > Network > Wi-Fi Power Save Mode to “On.”
(If your computer tends to lose the Wi-Fi connection and stops responding, set this field to
“Off.”)
● If GPS is enabled and you’re using your device from the same location, set GPS Mode to
“One-time.” (See
“Setting the GPS Mode” on page 93.)
