Battery Settings
The mobile hotspot, by default, is configured to optimize battery life. Battery life is
affected by:
• Standby time
• Data throughput
• GPS option (GPS tracking uses more power than getting a single GPS
location fix.)
• Mobile Broadband signal strength (the better the signal, the longer the battery
life)
• Wi-Fi range:
· Short Wi-Fi range — Extend battery life
· Medium Wi-Fi range — Intermediate battery life and Wi-Fi range
· Long Wi-Fi range — Enables you to have your laptop (or other Wi-Fi device)
further from your mobile hotspot and still connect to your Wi-Fi network, but
battery life is shorter.
Extend Battery Life
There are several methods you can use to extend the battery life.
If the computer and other devices you are connecting to your Wi-Fi network are
always close to the mobile hotspot device, you can increase the battery life by
shortening the Wi-Fi range.
