&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Avoid using LED&amp;#39;s. The example projects use LED&amp;#39;s extensively to indicate the state of the peripheral (advertising, connected, etc.) using the BSP.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Use a longer advertising interval (higher value of APP_ADV_INTERVAL in the ble_app_bps project).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Consider enabling the DC/DC. See &lt;a href="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/question/685/ldo-vs-dcdc-nrf51822/?answer=988#post-id-988"&gt;this post&lt;/a&gt; for details.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;You can reduce the TX power (using &lt;a href="http://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/topic/com.nordic.infocenter.s110.api.v8.0.0/group___b_l_e___g_a_p___f_u_n_c_t_i_o_n_s.html#ga0f1931af876bef39520c58de5ac060ca"&gt;sd_ble_gap_tx_power_set&lt;/a&gt;). However this can increase the time the peripheral must advertise before the central picks up the advertisements, so it may not be a good idea.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
