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 uses up a lot of battery power. Also,
consider your location: poor signal strength from your mobile network and extreme
temperature make the battery work harder.
Removing the battery
1. Take the back cover off.
2. Pull the battery out.
Inserting the battery
1. Take the back cover off.
2. Insert the battery (with its exposed copper contacts first) into the battery
compartment.

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.
When the phone is shipped, the battery is already installed on your phone. A thin film is
inserted between the battery and the compartment. You need to remove this film before
you can charge the battery.
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 orange 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.

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.
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 the bar down on the lock screen.
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.
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
Tap 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.

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.

and Android Market™. 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 autosync 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.

with contacts from your Google Account, computer, Facebook, and more.

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