battery life, review the following:  
Check your LCD screen brightness setting by tapping on the  
“Settings” icon from the applications menu. Then tap on “Display”  
and under “Brightness” move the slide bar towards the left to  
decrease brightness. This will save battery power allowing your  
gTablet to operate longer before needing to charge.

wireless. Do this by tapping on the “Settings” icon in the  
Applications Task Bar. Then tap on “Wireless & networks” and turn  
the wireless to “Off”. This will significantly contribute to your battery  
life. Remember to turn this setting back on. You may also access
