Places
Places is an application that uses Google Maps and your
location to help you find Restaurants, Cafes, Bars,
Attractions, and other businesses. You can also add your own
locations.
For more information, refer to “Places” on page 78.
 From a Home screen, touch (Applications)
➔ Places .
Power Control
Active applications, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, Synchronization,
or the LCD Brightness functionality all act to drain your
battery.
The Power Control widget is designed to quickly activate
(turn on) or deactivate (turn off) those functions or
applications that use the most battery power.
The following is a list of helpful tips that can help conserve
your battery power:
• Reduce your backlight time.
• Turn off Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and Synchronization when not in use.
• Deactivate the GPS when it is not needed. Most applications that
use this function periodically query the GPS satellites for the
current location. Each query drains your battery.
• Turn off Automatic application synchronization.
• Close any applications that may be running in the background
(such as Music Player).
To use the Power Control shortcut bar:
1. From the Home screen, touch and hold an empty area
until the
Add to Home screen menu displays.
2. Touch
Widgets ➔ Power control .
The Power Control shortcut is added to the Home
screen.
3. Touch one of the icons on the Power Control widget to
activate the application (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS,
Synchronization, or LCD Brightness).
A green bar displayed beneath the icon means the
application is activated (turned on).
