====== Managing Battery Life on your iPad ======

===== Adjusting Brightness =====

Having the brightness too high on your iPad can cause the battery to drain very fast, especially when the screen is on for a long time during video conferencing. 

To change the brightness, open **Settings**.

===== Turning on Auto-Lock =====

iPads have a feature that will automatically turn the display off after a certain amount of time. If this is disabled, the display will not turn off unless the power button is pressed, which will drain the battery very quickly. 

To turn on Auto-Lock, open **Settings** and go to **Display and Brightness** as shown above. Then tap on **Auto-Lock**.

Select the amount of time the device will wait before the screen automatically turns off.
