Save power with your smartphone

It’s bad for business when you’re out and about and your phone battery dies.

To make your batteries last longer and save on recharging costs, check your settings. If you only need to receive text messages and phone calls, turn off 3G or 4G. If you don’t need them, make sure you turn off Bluetooth, GPS and WiFi as these use up a lot of battery power.

On some smartphones, you can install apps that monitor the apps that use up the most battery power. You can also download and use ‘application killers’ that stop unused applications from running in the background.
