The Basics
Optimizing Battery Life
You can extend your battery’s life between charges by turning off features
that you don’t need to run constantly in the background. You can also
monitor how applications and system resources consume battery power.
To extend the life of your battery
Turn off radio communications that you aren’t using, such as Wi-Fi,
Bluetooth, or GPS.
Turn off automatic syncing for Gmail™, Calendar, Contacts, and other
apps.
Some apps you’ve downloaded may consume high amounts of battery
power. While using your downloaded apps, check the battery charge
level and monitor the battery usage.
Lower the screen brightness setting and set a shorter screen timeout.
NOTE Allowing other devices to use your tablet's hotspot connection will also drain your
battery more quickly.
To view the battery charge level
1. From the Home screen, tap Apps (in the Quick Access Bar) >
Settings > About tablet > Battery.
NOTE Settings are displayed in a split-screen format with the menus on the left and
corresponding selections on the right.
2. The battery status (charging or discharging) and percent of remaining
charge are displayed at the top right side of the screen.
To monitor and control what uses the battery
1. From the Home screen, tap Apps (in the Quick Access Bar) >
Settings > About tablet > Battery > Battery use.
2. The right side of the screen displays battery usage details and includes a
usage graph as well as a list of apps or services using battery power
from greatest amount to least.
