You can often gain a boost in power savings by using the latest version of the BlackBerry 10 OS. If a 
software update is available for your device, a notification appears in the 
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 space.
Turn
off
the
flash
Conserve more power by turning off the flash when taking pictures.
Tip:
Like most electronic devices, your device battery drains less quickly if you keep it out of the sun and 
other hot places, keep the battery contacts clean, and charge it regularly. Avoid leaving your device 
turned off with a low battery power level for an extended time.

things you didnht know you could do.

							Network
connectionsMobile
network
A mobile network connection allows your BlackBerry device to make calls and, if you have a data 
plan, use data services such as Internet browsing. In some locations, such as in a hospital or on an 
airplane, you need to turn off your mobile network connection, but usually you can just leave your 
mobile network connection on.
Wi-Fi
A Wi-Fi network connection is another way to get data services on your device, but unlike using the 
mobile network, using 
Wi-Fi doesnht add charges to your data plan. Your device is designed to try 
to use saved 
Wi-Fi networks before it tries to use the mobile network for basic data functions such 
as using the Internet or downloading apps. You can leave 
Wi-Fi on so that as soon as youhre in 
range of a saved 
Wi-Fi network, your device connects to it automatically, but remember that if you 
leave 
Wi-Fi on all the time your battery can drain faster.
Connections
between
devices
USB
You can use a USB cable to create a two-way connection between your BlackBerry device and 
your computer. Your device appears on your computer as a mapped drive. If you turn on the USB 
Mass Storage Mode feature, your device appears on your computer as a removable storage 
device. You can usually use a USB connection to drag files between your device and your 
computer, depending on the features of your computer.
You can use an HDMI cable or a wireless display adapter to connect your BlackBerry device to 
another device such as a TV or computer monitor. You can display the screen of your 
BlackBerry 
device on the other device.
Bluetooth
technology
Bluetooth wireless technology allows you to create a direct connection between your BlackBerry 
device and another Bluetooth enabled device. Although you can transfer files over a Bluetooth 
connection, because of its ability to stream content, Bluetooth connections are more commonly 
used for actions such as playing the music on your 
BlackBerry device through a separate speaker 
or making calls from a headset that is using your 
BlackBerry devicehs mobile network connection.
NFC
NFC is a short-range wireless technology thaths used for quickly creating connections between 
your 
BlackBerry device and other NFC-enabled devices or NFC tags. With NFC you donht need to 
enter pairing information to make a connection, so iths useful for on-the-go actions such as 
transferring contact cards with people you meet, or grabbing information from a poster that 
contains an NFC tag. Depending on your wireless service provider and the applications you have 
installed on your 
BlackBerry device, NFC can also be used to turn your device into a digital wallet 
to allow you to do things such as make payments with your 
BlackBerry device.

							Shared
Internet
connections
You can use your BlackBerry devicehs connection to the mobile network to allow other devices to 
access the Internet. This functionality is particularly useful if you want to browse the Internet on your 
laptop or 
Wi-Fi only tablet but you donht have access to a Wi-Fi network.
Internet
tethering
You can use Internet tethering when you only have one device that you want to connect to the 
Internet through your 
BlackBerry devicehs mobile network connection. You can connect the device 
to your 
BlackBerry device using a USB cable or, if both devices are Bluetooth enabled, you can 
use 
Bluetooth technology instead.
Mobile
Hotspot
You can use Mobile Hotspot mode to connect up to eight devices to your BlackBerry device. (The 
number of devices that you can connect depends on your wireless service provider.) Connecting 
your devices using Mobile Hotspot mode is like connecting to a 
Wi-Fi router; you can use the Wi-Fi 
connections on your devices, but you donht need access to a Wi-Fi network.
VPN
connections
You can connect your BlackBerry device to a virtual private network (VPN) over your mobile network or 
using a 
Wi-Fi connection. While your device is connected to the VPN, you can send data to and receive 
data from the private network across the public network.
Turn
on
airplane
mode
In some places, such as on an airplane or in a hospital, you need to turn off all the connections on your 
BlackBerry device. Airplane mode lets you quickly turn off your connections and, when youhre done 
using airplane mode, turning off airplane mode restores the connections that were previously turned on.
1.On the home screen, swipe down from the top of the screen.
2.Tap  Settings.

Mobile
network
A mobile network connection allows your BlackBerry device to make calls and, if you have a data plan, 
use data services such as Internet browsing. In some locations, such as in a hospital or on an airplane, 
you might need to turn off your mobile network connection, but usually you can just leave your mobile 
network connection turned on.
In most cases your device automatically connects to the appropriate wireless network when you travel 
outside of your wireless service providerhs coverage area. If youhre not sure if your device is set up for 
roaming, or what roaming fees will apply, iths a good idea to check with your wireless service provider 
before you travel.
