Battery life

The mobile hotspot, by default, is configured to optimize battery life. Battery life is

affected by:

• Standby time

• Data throughput

• Mobile Broadband signal strength (the better the signal, the longer the battery life)

• Wi-Fi range:

· Standard — Longest battery life

· Boost — Enables you to have connected Wi-Fi devices further from your mobile

hotspot and still connect to your Wi-Fi network, but battery life is shorter

• Using Jump Boost to charge other devices

• GPS mode

There are several methods you can use to extend the battery life:

• Adjust Wi-Fi settings:

· Shorten the Wi-Fi range — If the devices you are connecting to your Wi-Fi

network are always close to the mobile hotspot device, shorten the Wi-Fi range.

· Set the standby timer to a shorter period — Reduce the amount of time to wait

when no devices are connected to either Wi-Fi network before going into

standby mode (Wi-Fi radio turns off).

• Adjust display settings:

· Dim the screen — Reduce the LCD’s brightness level.

· Set the screen timeout to a shorter period — Reduce the amount of time to wait

without the LCD being touched before turning the screen blank.

• Adjust the GPS mode:

· If GPS is enabled, set it to do one-time fixes, or disable it. See Set the GPS Mode

on page 58.

Adjust Wi-Fi settings
