6.2 Saving battery power
Our devices provide options that help you save battery power.
A battery is an expendable supply. Thus, when used over a long period, its
capacity is shortened. If the battery of your device is reduced to under a half
of its initial time, we recommend the purchase of a new battery. Exposures to
temperatures outside it's operation temperature range (5ºC to 35ºC) will cause
battery degradation.
When you don't use the battery for a long time, you must store it after charging
(we recommend you to charge it at least until 30% or 40% of its capacity). This
will extend the battery life time of your device. Our batteries are designed to
keep 80% of their initial capacity after 300 to 500 cycles.
By customizing some options, you can use the device during longer periods of
time between charges:
• Close unnecessary applications;
• Deactivate the Bluetooth if not needed;
• Deactivate the Wi-Fi option if you are not using internet;
• Deactivate auto-syncing of applications;
• Decrease the backlight time;
• Decrease the brightness of your display.
