Optimize your battery performance

Here are some steps to help you optimize your battery performance.

- Always ensure that your tablet profile is appropriately set to meet your actual usage. Profile
setting significantly impacts the tablet’s battery performance. In general, Outdoor Mode is the

to lock your tablet to prevent accidental pressing of the keys with the auto-lock feature.

- Adjust the intensity and duration of your display screen’s backlight to low or medium level
and for the shortest duration. In general, the lower the backlight level and the shorter the
duration, the more power you will save.

surfaces, which will impact the network connection and ultimately drain power from your
battery.
