Key Functions
● LED Indicator displays a phone notification, charging status, or alert.
● Proximity Sensor and Light Sensor detects how close an object is to the surface of

such as during a phone call. It also automatically turns off the keyboard backlight and
brightens the display when you are in sunlight or a bright room, and turns on the
keyboard backlight and dims the display in darker places.
While talking on the phone, the sensor detects talk activity and locks the keypad to
prevent accidental keypresses.

menu, the Notifications panel, or onscreen keyboard.
