I suspect the radio that is using up your battery is the wi-fi radio, you can turn it off in setup, but then you wouldn't have wifi. Just because the OS has phone support, doesn't mean that the cellular radio is present.
I know, it's a bit confusing, but a smartphone has several radios, they are:
1. phone,
2. wifi,
3. wimax (in the case of Sprint 4G phones),
4. LTE 4G (in phones that have LTE)
5. Bluetooth,
6. GPS (reciever only).
A tablet my or may not have some or all of those, but I don't know of any that doesn't have at least the wifi.
