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.

34 Getting Started

1.5 Navigating Your Device

There are different ways you can navigate and interact with the interface of your device.

Finger-touch control

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

Touch or tap

When selecting items on the screen, such as the Home screen tabs, Start menu, programs and settings icons, and large on-screen buttons, simply touch them with your finger. Apply some pressure with your finger pad when touching an item on the screen.

Tapping means to touch lightly and quickly with your finger pad or fingertip. On screens that display smaller-size items, you can more accurately select an item by tapping it with your fingertip.

Swipe

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

Flipping on the Home screen

•

Swipe your finger vertically to flip through favorite contacts, messages, music albums, photos, and more. For more information, see “Using the TouchFLO 3D Home Screen” in Chapter 3.

Scrolling

•

When browsing the contacts list, web pages, documents, and certain selection lists on the Home screen (such as the All Programs list), slowly swipe your finger vertically across the screen to scroll. This allows you to scroll by page and to view the content or available selections as you scroll.

Page 35

Getting Started 35

The direction of swiping resembles the way you move a printed document as you are reading it. For detailed instructions, see “Finger scrolling” in Chapter 3.

Slide

Sliding on the touch screen also involves dragging with your finger, but you need to 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.

The following are some instances when you would use sliding:

Switching between Home screen tabs

•

Slide your finger left and right to switch between the Home screen tabs. For more information, see “Using the TouchFLO 3D Home screen“ in Chapter 3.

Advancing playback

•

In players that have a progress bar, such as the Home screen’s Music tab and Windows Media® Player Mobile, slide your finger horizontally on their progress bar to advance forward or move backward in the music or video you are playing.

For more information about the Home screen’s Music tab, see “Music” in Chapter 3.

For more information about Windows Media® Player Mobile, see “Using Windows Media® Player Mobile” in Chapter 11.

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 list. See “Finger scrolling” in Chapter 3 for details.

Finger zooming and panning

In programs such as Album and Opera Mobile, you can use finger gestures when zooming and panning. See Chapter 3, 8 and 11 for details.

Page 36

36 Getting Started

Stylus

You can use the stylus to navigate and interact with the touch screen. To use the stylus, pull it out from the stylus compartment at the bottom of the right panel of your device.

The stylus is magnetic and sticks to the side when held close to the device. This prevents you from accidentally losing or misplacing the stylus.

Basically, you tap with the stylus to open programs and select items on the screen, and you tap and hold on the screen to open a shortcut menu. You can also use the stylus the same way as what you do with finger gestures, such as swiping, sliding and flicking on the screen.

On-screen navigation control

When using the Full QWERTY, Compact QWERTY, and Phone Keypad onscreen input methods, you can touch the Navigation Control keys at the bottom of the keyboard for directional control. Touch the directional arrows to navigate up, down, left, and right on the screen.

2.2 Making Calls

To make a call, you can either dial a number or select a contact you want to call.

Make a call from the Phone screen

The Phone’s Smart Dial feature makes it quick and easy for you to place a call. When you start entering a phone number or contact name, Smart Dial automatically searches and sorts the contact entries on the SIM card, in Contacts, and the phone numbers in Call History (including incoming, outgoing, and missed calls). You can then select the desired number or contact from the filtered list.

You can just enter the first letter of the name or number of a contact. Smart Dial will search for contact phone numbers and the first character of a contact name as well as from the character that appears after a space, dash, or underscore in a contact name. For example, if you tap number “2” on the phone keypad, which is associated with [a, b, and c] on the Phone keypad, contact names such as the following will be considered matches: “Ben Miller”, “George Adams”, “John-Carter”, “Carter, Ellen”, “Dixon, Allan”, “Thomas_Clark”, “JaneCampbell”.

If the matching list is long and you want to narrow down the search further, enter another letter. Using the same example above, if you continue to tap “3” which is associated with [d, e, f], the matching list will be narrowed down to the following names: “Ben Miller”, “George Adams”, “Carter, Ellen”, “Dixon, Allan”.

To call a phone number or contact

1. Press the TALK/SEND button or tap Phone on the Home screen.

Begin entering the first few numbers or characters by tapping the keys on the Phone keypad. As you enter numbers or letters, the Smart Dial panel will display matches found.

If you tapped a wrong number or character, tap to erase each subsequent digit or character. To erase the entire entry, tap and hold .
