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 a learning aid for
anyone using a smartphone who is less experienced or new to smartphones.
In addition to this training book, you should refer to the installation guide,
which focuses on setting up and 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 highlight key elements that are useful
inpractice.
› Tasks for reflection. At the end of each chapter, there are tasks that
willhelp you to reflect on and practise what you have just learnt.
Additional 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
aguide to relevant terms.
› Input fields. Bold terms in the running texts also appear on
youremporiaSMART.

What's in
this brochure?
You're now holding your first smartphone –
and have lots of questions.
What am I supposed to do? How do I operate it when it has no buttons?
Where can I press and how do I get back to where I am now?
This training book will answer your questions by familiarising you with
thebasic qualities of your Android smartphone. It also explains your phone's
most important uses in a manner that is clear and easy to understand.
This aim of this book is to familiarise you with this new technology and
eliminate any fears you may have – because using a smartphone seems
harder than it really is!
Embrace this new "smart" world! You'll see, using your smartphone will soon
seem like child's play to you.
Ms Berger and MrBrown 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 MrBrown 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 MrBrown on their »smart« journey of discovery and
remember that no one is born a master!

Practice makesperfect!
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!
Although a smartphone is operated using a touch-sensitive screen,
thetouchscreen, 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
› Brief press: If you press the button briefly when the phone is on,

thetouchscreen will be deactivated and therefore go black. Thisdoesn'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.
Thetouchscreen is now sensitive to input again and will respond when
you touch it.

There is another physical button at the bottom of the screen, which is called

open Google Assistant, however. You can read more about this in chapter
»Google Assistant« from page114.
To the right and left of the home button, there are two other buttons, which
are recognised by the symbols printed on them.
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.

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 30seconds without input on the
touchscreen. You can change the length of this period in Settings - Display.

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.
Tapping
Tip!
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.
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.

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.
Youdon'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.
The directions in which you can swipe content vary depending on
Tip!
thecontent. Just give it a go!
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
theability 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
toeach other.
Your finger and thumb must remain in contact with the screen whilst you're
moving them.
Zooming
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.

Every QWERTY keyboard consists of four rows that display letters and
various symbols. The exact content of the keyboard can vary depending on
2
what 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.

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.
Ifyou 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 to Text
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
appears with the microphone symbol
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,
itwill be displayed in written form.
· If you wait too long, the green symbol will change to a grey circle.
Thismeans the speech-recording function has now been deactivated.
Toreactivate it, tap on the microphone symbol
· Before you send the text, you can make corrections using the keyboard.
Try to dictate the punctuation too!
Tip!
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.

will tell you that the dictation

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
theperson'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.
