Extending Your Battery Life
Active applications, light levels, Bluetooth usage, and GPS functionality all act to drain your battery. The following is
a list of helpful tips that can help conserve your battery power:
Initial Device Configuration
1. When you first turn on your tablet, follow the prompts to set up your Wi-Fi, Google Account, Samsung Account,
and other basic features. If desired, you can skip these steps and set them up later.
● Reduce the time your backlight stays on.
● Turn Bluetooth off when not in use.
● Turn Wi-Fi off when not in use.
● Deactivate your GPS functionality when not needed. Most applications using this function will periodically
query the GPS satellites for your current location; each query drains your battery.
● Do not wait until your battery is completely depleted before charging your device. Repeating this process
of a complete discharge and recharge can over time reduce the storage capacity of any battery.
● Use the Power Saving feature to deactivate some hardware and interface functions.
● Check the Battery use screen to review what features or functions have been consuming your battery
resources.
● Check the Running Services and close any unnecessary applications.
● Use the Task Manager feature to end/shutdown background applications that are still running. These
minimized applications can, over time, cause your device to “slow down”.
● Animated wallpapers use processing power, memory, and more power. Change your Live Wallpaper to a
non-animated Wallpaper gallery or Gallery image.

information, refer to “Security” on page 48.

doing so may affect signal quality and may cause the device to operate at a higher power level than is
necessa r y.
