Save battery on your phone and watch
The settings that use the most battery, and what to change.
Most battery goes to the microphone and the screen. These settings help the most.
Phone
- Set You › Talk › Advanced › Open mic › Pause open mic after to 15 or 30 min if you use Open mic.
- When your shift ends, use You › Stop KeyUp on this phone or go off in the room.
Watch
- Leave Pause open mic after on (15 min by default, under Settings › How you talk › Advanced); Off uses much more battery.
- Optional: turn on Deep sleep during Quiet under swipe up › Quiet. It is off by default. With KeyUp closed, the watch stops checking in during Quiet, Bedtime mode or while you are off in the room you are in. Calls for help, calls and pages still come through, but voices of people you let through Quiet do not play while asleep. Opening KeyUp or starting a talk wakes it; otherwise it wakes within about 15 minutes after the quiet period ends. See Deep sleep during Quiet for what waits in Replay and What was said.
- Keep Sound on this watch on Auto so the phone plays the room when it is near.
- Leave Keep KeyUp on screen on Automatic: with screen-off crown talk it stays off unless Double tap needs it.
- With Raise to talk, keep Screen-off checks on Balanced (the standard choice) or Battery saver. Fastest uses the most battery.
- With crown talks, Screen off when a crown talk ends (under Advanced) turns the display off right after the talk instead of waiting for the timeout.
Web app and iPhone
You › Talking › Keep the screen on in a room uses more battery, and lets go after 2 hours until you tap. Turn it off when you don’t need to hear the room.
