The training book

Your introduction to the smartphone world was initiated by emporia as part of the company's digitalisation offensive. It is intended as learning aid for anyone using a smartphone for the first time.

In addition to this training book, you should refer to the installation guide, which focuses on using your phone for the first time and inputting basic settings in particular.

The software on emporia products is continuously being improved, so it may differ from descriptions and images in this book at times.

We have used the following elements in this training book:

›Tip! Notes by the authors that should be heeded in practice.

›Tasks for reflection. At the end of each chapter, there are tasks that will help you to reflect on and practise what you have just learnt. Instructions on how to complete these tasks are provided at www.emporia.eu/faq.

›Notes Space is provided for you to write your own notes.

›Terms important to the topic. Red words in the running texts act as a guide to relevant terms.

›Input fields. Bold terms in the running texts also appear on your emporiaSMART.

Embrace this new "smart" world!You'll see, using your smartphone will soon seem like child's play to you.

| 005

Ms Berger and Mr Fuchs have both just bought their first smartphones too!

They are happy when, after turning it on for the first time, they notice that many things seem familiar to them! They recognise things from their computer and previous mobile phones. And they're right, because a smartphone is basically a combination of a computer and a mobile phone.

However, Ms Berger and Mr Fuchs still have lots of questions floating around in their minds:

›What can my smartphone do?

›What do I need to be wary of when I'm using it?

›Can I break or damage it?

›How do I operate it without buttons?

›Why does everyone talk about apps?

As you can see, you're not the only one who has such questions! Everyone has the same questions when they use a smartphone for the first time – regardless of whether they're young or old.

Now join Ms Berger and Mr Fuchs on their "smart" journey of discovery and remember that no one is born a master!

Practice makes perfect!

The screen of your smartphone is a touchscreen, which means it responds when you touch it with your fingers or a special pen called a stylus.

You therefore "work" directly on the screen of your smartphone. Try it - you'll see that it's very easy and a lot of fun!

Using the Buttons

Although a smartphone is operated using a touch-sensitive screen, the touchscreen, it does have a few physical buttons as well!

1 On/Off button

Every device of course needs an on/off button and, in this case, it is the short button on the side of the phone.This button has two functions:

›Press and hold: If you press and hold the button down for longer than 2 seconds, the device will turn on or off completely.

›Brief press: If you press the button briefly when the phone is on,

the touchscreen will be deactivated and therefore go black.This doesn't mean the phone has been switched off, however; it is just in sleep mode.To wake the device, press the on/off button again briefly.

The touchscreen is now sensitive to input again and will respond when you touch it.

How Do I Use theTouchscreen to Operate the Smartphone? | 009

2 Volume button

The long button on the side of the phone enables you to control the volume.

Press the top half to make it sound louder and the bottom half to make it quieter.

Tip! If the phone is ringing and you want to turn off the ringtone quickly, simply press the volume button.The ringing will stop, but the call will

not be interrupted.You can now take all the time you need to decide whether to accept or reject the call.You can also mute the alarm in the same way.

3 4	5 Navigation buttons
There is another physical button at the bottom of the screen, which is called
the 3	Home button .This button will take you back to the home screen
any time if you press it briefly. Pressing and holding it for a few seconds will
open Google Assistant, however. You can read more about this in chapter
		5	3		4
»Google Assistant« from page 106.
To the right and left of the home button, there are two other buttons, which
are recognised by the symbols printed on them.

›4 Back button:Tapping on the will take you back one step and undo your last action.

›5 Menu button:Tapping on the will display all the functions currently active on the phone in overlapping windows.You can scroll through

the functions and close them one by one – or all at once!

	SOS button	SOS button
		The emergency button is positioned on the back of the phone. It can be very
		helpful in an emergency, but it needs to be activated and set up first.The
		button has been preset to be off, as this function will only work efficiently
		if it is adapted to your needs. Instructions on how to set up the emergency
		button are provided in the installation guide.
		Sleep mode
		If you don't use your phone for a certain period of time, the screen will
		automatically switch to sleep mode and go black.This is needed in order
		to prevent electricity from being used unnecessarily and to avoid any
		unintentional input on the screen.You can reactivate the screen by pressing
		the on/off button briefly.
		The phone is normally set to go black after 30 seconds without input on the
		touchscreen.You can change the length of this period in Settings - Display.

How Do I Use theTouchscreen to Operate the Smartphone? | 011

	Tapping	Tapping
	There is one important difference between the way conventional buttons
	work and the way a touchscreen works. Conventional buttons are like
	switches.They respond as soon as they're pressed hard enough.
	In contrast, a touchscreen does not respond to pressure, but detects the
	capacitive voltage of your skin when you touch it with your finger. When
	you move your finger away from the screen again, this flow of voltage is
	interrupted – and this is what the screen responds to.
	So it's not about how hard you press! Put your finger on the screen without
	pressing, so that a clear area of contact is created between your finger and
	the glass. When you take your finger away again, the screen will respond and
	perform your desired action.

Tip! It is best to use your index finger to operate the touchscreen, because this finger has better developed fine motor skills than your

other fingers.

Tapping and holding

An element will often respond differently when it's pressed and held for several seconds instead of just being tapped briefly.This action of pressing for longer is known as tapping and holding. Sometimes, a double-tap, i.e. two taps on the same spot in quick succession, can also bring about a reaction that's different to that of a simple tap.

012 | How Do I Use theTouchscreen to Operate the Smartphone?

	Swiping	Swiping
		Do you want to expose hidden text on the screen to read more? Would you
		like to flick through screens like you do with a photo album? If you want to
		do either of these, you have to swipe.
		To do it, touch the screen of your smartphone with a finger and drag your
		finger in the direction you want the screen's content to move.The content
		will follow your finger. Be aware that your finger must remain in constant
		contact with the screen as you drag it.
		So place your index finger on the screen, applying even light pressure.
		You don't need to press hard, but if you're hesitant as you move your finger,
		your swiping could be interpreted as tapping. It is also not advisable to give
		the content a "shove" with one fast swipe so that it continues to move by
		itself.You'll lose control of the content if you do that! It is better to continue
		moving the content yourself with several controlled swipes.
		Tip!	The directions in which you can swipe content vary depending on
			the content. Just give it a go!

How Do I Use theTouchscreen to Operate the Smartphone? | 013

	Zooming	Zooming
	Maybe you'd like to look at a photo more closely or are having problems
	making out exactly what a piece of text says.Your smartphone offers you
	the ability to enlarge or shrink displayed content.
	Touch the screen with your thumb and index finger at the same time.

›To enlarge the area you're looking at, push your finger and thumb further

away from each other.

› To shrink the area you're looking at, push your finger and thumb closer to each other.

Your finger and thumb must remain in contact with the screen whilst you're moving them.

Tip! If you don't yet feel confident about using finger movements on the screen, use the Touch Trainer, an app provided by emporia, for some step-by-step practice.You'll be a master at tapping, swiping and zooming in no time!

The QWERTY keyboard in the portrait format

Keyboard on the Screen

Wanting to write an SMS or an email? Like computers, smartphones require

							a keyboard for you to perform such tasks. Whenever text input is necessary
							and you tap on the text input field, the software keyboard will automatically
							appear on the bottom half of the screen.
							The keyboard has a similar layout to that of a computer keyboard by default.
							Keyboards of this kind are known as QWERTY keyboards because of the first
							six letters in their first row.
							The return button 1 and space bar 2 are used particularly frequently.
							Tap the upward-pointing arrow 3 to switch to upper case,
					1		and the "123" button 4 to open the keyboard for numbers, symbols and
							emoticons (smileys).
3						4
				32			Every QWERTY keyboard consists of four rows that display letters and
	Send ,		. Delete				various symbols.The exact content of the keyboard can vary depending on

2what you're using it for, because the symbols are adapted to your current task.

In the first row, each button has two functions: If you tap on a button briefly, the letter will be entered in the input field, and if you tap and hold the button, (i.e. don't lift your finger off straight away), the number on the button will appear.

How Do I Use theTouchscreen to Operate the Smartphone? | 015

There are also other letters, vowels mainly, which can display other characters when they are tapped and held.These allow you to write things like letters with umlauts and special characters in other languages.

To write "ö", for example, tap and hold "o". In the additional area that now pops up, the number 9 is highlighted, which means it is currently selected. If you lift your finger off the screen now, a 9 will be inserted in the text you're writing.To select the "ö" move your finger to the left until the "ö" is selected and only then lift your finger off the screen.

In the text input field, you will see a flashing vertical line.This is the cursor. The position of the cursor is where text will be added when you write. If you want to correct a typing error, you can move the cursor back to wherever the mistake is in the text you've already written. Simply tap where the error is and the cursor will jump back to that point.This means you can correct typing errors easily without having to delete all the text in between your current position and the error with the backspace button.

Converting Speech toText

The microphone symbol on the keyboard is a very helpful tool.

It saves you having to type text and allows you to orally dictate your words, which are then automatically displayed as text.

·Open an app in which you can compose a message.

·Tap on the text input field to open the keyboard.

·Now tap on the microphone symbol.The green circle that then appears with the microphone symbolwill tell you that the dictation function has been activated.

·Express the message you want to send as text loudly and clearly and with your mouth close to the phone. As soon as the text is recognised, it will be displayed in written form.

·If you wait too long, the green symbol will change to a grey circle. This means the speech-recording function has now been deactivated. To reactivate it, tap on the microphone symbol.

·Before you send the text, you can make corrections using the keyboard.

Tip! Try to dictate the punctuation too!

Say "comma" when you want to type a comma in the sentence and "full stop" at the end of the sentence.The voice recogniser will normally interpret such instructions very accurately, which saves you having to spend a long time editing the message when you've finished dictating it.

› 1 Phone book: Select a contact from the list and tap on the name.

› 2 Keypad: Enter the number using the keypad and then press Call.

› 3 Recent calls: Select a contact from your list of recent incoming and outgoing calls. Missed calls will be displayed at the top of the list and marked with a red bar.

Phone Book

The phone book displays all the contacts available on the phone. Unlike a feature phone, i.e. a phone with physical keys,

a contact on a smartphone contains more than just the person's

phone number.You can save a photo of the person, email addresses and the person's birthday as well.

›Searching for a contact

In the phone book, all your saved contacts will be displayed in a list and sorted alphabetically by their first names.

Tap on a name in the list to call the contact.

Tip! If you want to get to the bottom of the contact list, the best thing to do is swipe over the head icons on the right-hand side of the

screen. If you swipe over the names of the contacts, it is very easy to accidentally call a contact.

If it is taking too long to find the contact you want in the list because you've saved a large number of contacts, you can also type the first few letters of the contact into the search bar. All the contacts that begin with these letters will then be compiled in a short list.
