2.4.5. OPTIMIZE BATTERY LIFE
Power issues are critical for portable devices. Always turn off the features you don’t need on
the mobile computer to save power. To extend battery life as long as possible, always take
the following actions:
 Suspend the mobile computer when it isn’t actively used. (See Suspend Mobile
Computer.)
 Turn down LCD backlight brightness as described in Adjust Backlight, and set a shorter
LCD timeout as described in Suspend & Reset Mobile Computer
 Auto Sync the mobile computer with your PC less frequently. See Direct Data
Connection.
 If you are using any “push e-mail” or any automatic syncing service on the mobile
computer, change the syncing schedule to manually check updates.
 When Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, mobile data (HSPA+), or GPS isn’t used, turn it off. See Radios.
