CompTIA A+ Core 2 (220-1002) — Question 36

An employee contacts the help desk because the battery in a company-provided smartphone lasts only a short period of time when the worker is in the office.
Which of the following would MOST likely reduce this symptom? (Select TWO).

Answer options

• A. Close applications when tasks are completed.
• B. Increase the time to dim the screen automatically.
• C. Increase the frequency for syncing corporate email.
• D. Set the smartphone display to maximum brightness.
• E. Connect to the office WiFi network automatically.
• F. Disable 802.11ac and use mobile data exclusively.

Correct answer: A, E

Explanation

Closing applications when they are finished (option A) helps conserve battery life by reducing background processes. Connecting to the office WiFi network automatically (option E) minimizes the use of mobile data, which consumes more power, thus extending battery life. The other options either increase battery usage or do not address the primary issue.
