Battery Conservation Tips
Two basic battery conservation tips that you should know:
Keep your device out of the sun or a hot car, as heat will degrade your battery’s performance.
Run the device through one charge cycle per month. Charge it to 100 percent, then let it completely
run down. This will prolong the overall life of your battery.
In addition, adjusting some of the Settings on the device can help you conserve day-to-day battery usage and
maximize overall battery life. Adjust as many of the settings as possible.
Tap the Settings icon on the Home screen to access all these features.
‡Turn 3G coverage off – 3G coverage is still limited, so turn it off if it is not absolutely necessary.
Tap, General > Network > Enable 3G, then turn it OFF.
Turn WiFi off – When WiFi is on, the device it constantly looking to join new networks, so turning it off saves
power. If you are browsing frequently, however, WiFi uses less power than cellular networks.
Tap, WiFi, then turn it OFF.
Turn Location Services off – Unless you are using this feature and it is available in your location, turn it off.
Tap, General > Location Services, then turn it OFF.
Turn Push mode off and set Fetch at a less frequent interval – Unless you need email instantly, turn Push off.
Tap, Fetch New Data, then turn Push OFF. Then set the Fetch interval for 30 minutes or 1 hour.
‡Turn Bluetooth off – Turn it on only when you are using it. Leaving it on all day uses power unnecessarily.
Tap General > Bluetooth, then turn it OFF.
‡Turn Airplane Mode on – When you are in a low or no coverage area, turn this on so that the device is not
actively searching for cellular networks it will likely not find.
Tap Airplane Mode, then turn it ON.
‡Turn Vibrate off – Use only as needed.
Tap, Sounds > Vibrate, then turn it OFF for both Silent and Ring modes.
Turn Brightness down – Chances are you will not need brightness at 100 percent.
Tap, Brightness, then slide the bar to decrease brightness.
Turn Equalizer settings off – Apply equalizer settings only when listening to music.
On iPhone: Tap iPod > EQ, then turn settings OFF.
On iPod touch/ iPad: Tap Music > EQ, then turn settings OFF.
