12 Basics
Battery
Your phone uses a rechargeable battery. Please use only original batteries and
accessories that came with your phone or replacements that we recommend.
How long the battery can last before it needs recharging depends on how you use
your phone. Among these are the phone features and accessories you use (for
example, leaving your Bluetooth connection always on uses more power). Long phone
calls and frequent web browsing use up much battery. Also, consider your location:
poor signal strength from your mobile network and extreme temperature make the
battery work harder.
Removing the battery
Right after you take your phone out from the box for the first time, don’t forget to remove the
thin film wrapped around the battery that’s inside your phone.
1.
With the phone turned off, hold your phone securely with the front facing down.
2.
With your thumb or finger, lift the battery compartment cover off from the small
opening on the left side of your phone.
3. Pull the battery out from the battery compartment.
13 Basics
Inserting the battery
Hold your phone securely with the front facing down.
1.
With your thumb or finger, lift the battery compartment cover off from the small
2.
opening on the left side of your phone.
Insert the battery (with its exposed copper contacts first) into the battery
3.
compartment.
4. Put back the battery compartment cover, pushing the battery all the way in.
5. Press down all sides of the cover to lock it in place.
Your phone’s Bluetooth and Wi-Fi antennas are placed underneath the battery compartment
cover. We recommend that you secure the battery compartment cover to the phone for
stronger Bluetooth or Wi-Fi connection.
14 Basics
Charging the battery
The battery is partially charged when shipped. Before you turn on and start using your
phone, it is recommended that you charge the battery. Some batteries perform best
after several full charge/discharge cycles.
Only the power adapter and USB sync cable provided with your phone must be used to
charge the battery.
Do not remove the battery from the phone while you are charging it using the power or car
adapter.
1. Plug the power adapter into the USB connector of your phone.
2. Plug in the power adapter to an electrical outlet to start charging the battery.
As the battery is being charged, the notification LED shows a solid red light. The light
turns to solid green when the phone is fully charged.
When you charge the battery while the phone is on, the charging battery icon
) is displayed in your phone’s status bar. After the battery has been fully charged,
(
the charging battery icon turns to a full battery icon (
As a safety precaution, the battery stops charging when it overheats.
).
15 Basics
Switching your phone on or off
Switching your phone on
Press the POWER button. Easy.
When you turn on the phone for the first time, you’ll need to set it up. See the Getting started
chapter for details.
Switching your phone off
1. If the display is off, press the POWER button to turn it back on, then unlock the
screen by sliding down the bar on the lock screen.
See “Unlocking the screen” in the Getting started chapter for details.
2. Press and hold the POWER button for a few seconds.
3. When the Power options menu appears, tap Power off.
Entering your PIN
Most SIM cards come with a PIN (personal identification number) set by your mobile
operator. If you’re asked for a PIN, enter it and then tap OK.
To find out how to enable, disable, or change the PIN, see “Protecting your SIM card
with a PIN” in the Security chapter.
If you enter the wrong PIN three times, your SIM card is blocked. No problem. Just contact
your mobile operator and ask for the PUK (PIN Unblocking Key).
Finger gestures
Ta p When you want to type using the keyboard, select items onscreen such as
application and settings icons, or press onscreen buttons, simply tap them
with your finger.
Press and hold To open the available options for an item (for example, a contact or link in a
web page), simply press and hold the item.
Swipe or slide To swipe or slide means to quickly drag your finger vertically or horizontally
across the screen.
Drag Press 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.
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.
Rotate For most screens, you can automatically change the screen orientation
from portrait to landscape by turning the phone sideways. When entering
text, you can turn the phone sideways to bring up a bigger keyboard.
Pinch In some apps, like Gallery or the web browser, you can “pinch” the screen
using two fingers (for example, thumb and index finger) to zoom in or
zoom out when viewing a picture or a web page.
16 Getting started
Getting started
Setting up your phone for the first time
When you switch on your phone for the first time, you’ll be asked to set up your
phone. You can choose your language, how you want to connect to the Internet,
and whether you want your current location to be automatically detected. If you still
have personal contacts and calendar events stored on your old phone, you can easily
transfer them to your new phone through Bluetooth as well.
Be sure to sign in to your Google Account so you can use Google apps like
Gmail™/Google Mail. You can also set up your other email accounts, favorite social
networks like Facebook® and Twitter™, and more.
Just follow the onscreen instructions and you’ll be up and running with your phone in
no time.
Some features that need to connect to the Internet such as location-based services and
auto-sync of your online accounts may incur extra data fees from your mobile operator. Don’t
worry. You can enable or disable them in your phone’s settings as you go along later on. To
find out how, see the Settings chapter.
Home screen
Your Home screen is where you make your phone your own. It comes with a weather
clock widget that shows the time and weather in your current location. You can also
add your favorite apps, shortcuts, folders and widgets so they’re always just a tap
away.
To find out how, see the Personalizing chapter.
17 Getting started
Extended Home screen
As you start to do more things with your phone, you might find that one Home screen
is not enough. No problem. You can use up to six extra screens. It should be plenty.

adding icons, widgets, and more.
Press HOME to return to the main Home screen (that is, the center home screen).
