| Get the Most From Your Battery | |
|
Spending a day on the water with your
Ventus Navigator you want to be sure to the
the longest possible life from your battery. The biggest draws on
your battery are from the Phone, Location Services (GPS Apps),
Screen Brightness, and Blue Tooth.
Go into your Settings Menu and turn off Location Services
and Blue Tooth. Then put your device in
Airplane Mode, which will also turn off the Wi-Fi,
so you have to turn the Wi-Fi back on for the
Navigator to communicate with Expedition.
Next turn down the Brightness as much as possilbe
for the light conditions you are sailing in. Using Night
Mode does draw slightly less power because of the black
background, and offers great visability on all but the brightness
days. I actually prefer it most of the time.
Finally turn off all programs that are running in the background
except for the Ventus Navigator. If you aren't familiar
with this feature you start by double tapping the built in round
button. This will bring up a bar across the bottom of the screen
that shows all the programs that are running in the background. Tap
and hold any one of them untill they start vibrating slightly and
have a red circle with a minus sign in the upper left corner of each
icon. Then tap each icon to close the program. When you have close
all but the Navigator tap the round button twice to return
to your home screen.
