device when on board an aircraft, remember to turn off your phone by switching to
Airplane Mode.

ENVIRONMENT RESTRICTIONS

Do not use this product in gas stations, fuel depots, chemical plants or where
blasting operations are in progress, or in potentially explosive atmospheres such
as fuelling areas, fuel storehouses, below deck on boats, chemical plants, fuel or
chemical transfer or storage facilities, and areas where the air contains chemicals or
particles, such as grain, dust, or metal powders. Please be aware that sparks in such
areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death.

EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERES

When in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere or where flammable
materials exist, the product should be turned off and the user should obey all signs
and instructions. Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in
bodily injury or even death.

7

8

Users are advised not to use the equipment at refueling points such as service or
gas stations, and are reminded of the need to observe restrictions on the use of
radio equipment in fuel depots, chemical plants, or where blasting operations are in
progress. Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not always,
clearly marked. These include fueling areas, below deck on boats, fuel or chemical
transfer or storage facilities, and areas where the air contains chemicals or particles,
such as grain, dust, or metal powders.

ROAD SAFETY

Vehicle drivers in motion are not permitted to use telephony services with
handheld devices, except in the case of emergency. In some countries, using hands­free devices as an alternative is allowed.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR RF EXPOSURE

• Avoid using your phone near metal structures (for example, the steel frame of

a building).

• Avoid using your phone near strong electromagnetic sources, such as

microwave ovens, sound speakers, TV and radio.

• Use only original manufacturer-approved accessories, or accessories that do

not contain any metal.

• Use of non-original manufacturer-approved accessories may violate your

local RF exposure guidelines and should be avoided.

INTERFERENCE WITH MEDICAL EQUIPMENT FUNCTIONS

This product may cause medical equipment to malfunction. The use of this device is
forbidden in most hospitals and medical clinics.

If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer of your
device to determine if they are adequately shielded from external RF energy. Your
physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this information.

Turn your phone OFF in health care facilities when any regulations posted in
these areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be using
equipment that could be sensitive to external RF energy.

HEARING AIDS

Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some hearing aids. In the event
of such interference, you may want to consult your service provider, or call the
customer service line to discuss alternatives.

NONIONIZING RADIATION

Your device has an internal antenna. This product should be operated in its normal­use position to ensure the radiative performance and safety of the interference.
As with other mobile radio transmitting equipment, users are advised that for
satisfactory operation of the equipment and for the safety of personnel, it is
recommended that no part of the human body be allowed to come too close to the
antenna during operation of the equipment.

Use only the supplied integral antenna. Use of unauthorized or modified antennas
may impair call quality and damage the phone, causing loss of performance and
SAR levels exceeding the recommended limits as well as result in non-compliance
with local regulatory requirements in your country.

To assure optimal phone
performance and ensure human
exposure to RF energy is within the
guidelines set forth in the relevant
standards, always use your device
only in its normal-use position.
Contact with the antenna area
may impair call quality and cause
your device to operate at a higher
power level than needed. Avoiding
contact with the antenna area
when the phone is IN USE optimizes
the antenna performance and the
battery life.

1.5 Getting Around Your Phone

Use finger gestures, the TRACKBALL, or a combination of both when navigating
around your Home screen, menus and application screens.

Finger gestures

A quick and easy way to interact with the Home screen and the whole interface
of your phone is by touch. Basically, the following are the types of actions, called
finger gestures, that you would do when interacting with your phone:

Touch

When you want to select items such as icons and options or press on-screen buttons,
simply touch them with your finger. Apply some pressure with your finger pad when
touching them on the screen.

Swipe or slide

To swipe or slide means to drag your finger vertically or horizontally across the
screen. The following are some instances when you would use swiping:

Getting around the extended Home screen

•

Swipe your finger horizontally across the screen to go to the left or right side
of the extended Home screen. For more information, see “Home Screen” in
this chapter.

Scrolling

•

To scroll up or down in a list or page on the screen, swipe or slide your finger
up or down on the screen. With repeated short, quick brushing gestures, you
can accelerate the scroll. Touch your finger on the screen to stop the scrolling.

Drag

Touch and hold your finger with some pressure before you start to drag. While
dragging, do not release your finger until you have reached the target position.

Phone Basics 29

30 Phone Basics

The following are some instances when you would use dragging:

Moving or deleting a Home screen item

Resizing the cropper

•

When you need to crop a picture, the cropper appears. Touch and hold the
cropper edge, and then drag your finger inward to or outward from the
center of the cropper to resize it.

Flick

Flicking the screen is similar to swiping, except that you need to swipe your finger
in light, quicker strokes. This finger gesture is always in a vertical direction, such as
when flicking the contacts or message list.

Use the TRACKBALL

You can roll the TRACKBALL to select or highlight items on the screen, or press
it to to select a highlighted item or action. You can also use the TRACKBALL in
