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.

Page 10

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.

1.6 Navigating On 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 messages, music albums, photos, and more. For more information, see “Using the TouchFLO 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.

For detailed instructions, see “Finger scrolling” in Chapter 3.

Page 37

Getting Started 37

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 Home screen“ in Chapter 3.

Advancing playback

•

In Windows Media® Player Mobile, slide your finger horizontally on the progress bar to advance forward or move backward in the music or video you are playing.

For more information about Windows Media® Player Mobile, see “Using Windows Media® Player Mobile” in Chapter 10.

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.

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 top of the right panel of your device.

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

Page 38

38 Getting Started

stylus the same way as what you do with finger gestures, such as swiping, sliding and flicking on the screen.

Navigation Control

On the home screen and in many programs on your device, you can use the NAVIGATION CONTROL to move through menus and instructions. Press the control up, down, left, and right to move around the screen. When an item has been selected on the screen, press the ENTER button (the center button) to confirm your selection.
