Decrease volume
Turn down the device volume with the volume keys on the right side of your device.
To adjust other volume settings, on the home screen, swipe down from the top of the screen. Tap Settings > System
Volume or Notifications.
Close apps
Increase how long a single charge lasts by closing any apps or features that you finished using so that they aren't
continuously running in the background. Some features consume more battery power than others and should be closed or
turned off when not in use. For example, the camera, the BlackBerry Browser, Voice Control, GPS, and Bluetooth
technology.
Turn of connections
If your device is out of a network coverage area, turn off the connection so that your device doesn't continuously search for
a network signal.
To turn off or change network connections, on the home screen, swipe down from the top of the screen. Tap Settings
> Network Connections.
Update your software
You'll often gain a boost in power savings by using the latest version of BlackBerry Device Software. If a software update is
available for your device, a notification appears in BlackBerry Hub.
Use a media card
Reduce power usage by keeping less data on your device. Save data to a media card instead of your device storage.
Turn off the camera flash
Conserve more power by turning off the camera flash when taking pictures.
Tip
: Like most electronic devices, your device battery will drain less quickly if you keep it out of the sun and other hot
places, keep the contacts clean, and charge it regularly. Avoid leaving your device turned off with a low battery power level
for an extended period of time.
