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

When you take your phone out from the box, make sure to peel off the thin film of the battery that’s inside your phone. Pull the flap of the film to release the battery.

1. Take the back cover off. See “Back cover” for details.

2. Lift the battery from the groove at the top of the battery compartment.

Inserting the battery

1. Take the back cover off. See “Back cover” for details.

2. Insert the battery (with its exposed copper contacts first) into the battery

compartment.

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™. 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.

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.

Slide your finger horizontally to the left or right and you’ll discover more space for adding icons, widgets, and more.

Press HOME to return to the main Home screen (that is, the center home screen).

Using Leap view

To jump straight to the screen that you want, press HOME while on the main Home screen or pinch the screen to show the Leap view. It reveals all seven Home screens as thumbnails.

Just tap the one you want and you’ll leap right there.
