T1 Saving Battery Power
Should the T1 be turned off or just leave it in the sleep mode for day-to-day reading?. When do you turn yours off?.

You don't need to turn it off unless you are not using it for a long while. For day to day reading just leave it on

I don't have a T-1, but the manual says the following on the topic.

Quote:
Shutting down/turning off the power completely

Completely turning off the Reader can preserve battery power longer than sleep mode when you are not using the Reader for a prolonged period of time.

...~~~...

Automatic power-saving modes

The Reader will enter sleep mode after 10 minutes of inactivity. After 3 days in sleep mode, the Reader will shut down/power off automatically. The automatic power-saving modes can not be turned off.

I never manually turn off my 950 so as to save wear and tear on my On/Off switch.

That is what I thought but it is good to get others opinions. Thanks.

i've been leaving mine on constantly, and the battery only lasted about a week, with around 3 hrs of use per day.. i did use the browser quite a bit when trying stuff out at first though.

So perhaps it should be turned off when not in use, unless it uses a lot of battery power when it boots up.

Or more likely, as with most devices that have WiFi, the WiFi is not turned off in sleep mode and is using the battery...

I leave mine on and have had it for 11 days and the battery has barely budged. I read for about 30 minutes to an hour each day. I also haven't turned off the WiFi.

I don't turn off wifi either, but it remains in standby most of the time. If you use wifi to browse regularly, you will need to charge a lot more often. The wireless is easily the biggest power drain on the battery.

Well that is interesting. It is good to know what others are doing. I have been turning mine off but from now on I will leave it on, and let it go into the sleep mode.

Leave mine on, wifi and reader go to sleep quite quickly. I have used it for a week, long reading sessions every day and don't have an issue with battery level.
