1.Earpiece Lets you hear callers and automated prompts.

2.Proximity sensor Senses proximity toward other objects (such as your head) so that tap commands are not accidentally activated during a call. It also employs an ambient sensor which measures the surrounding light and adjusts the LCD brightness to provide a vivid screen.

NOTES • Do not block the sensor or near the sensor to avoid problems with the touchscreen.

•When receiving and making calls, the proximity sensor automatically turns the backlight off and locks the touchscreen by sensing when the phone is near your ear. This extends battery life and prevents you from unintentionally activating the touchscreen during calls.

Extend your battery's life between charges by turning off features that you don't need to have running constantly in the background.

Extending your phone's battery life:

Reduce the screen brightness setting and set a shorter screen timeout.

Turn off radio communications (such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, etc.) that you're not actively using.

Turn off automatic syncing for Gmail, Calendar, Contacts, and other apps.

Monitor the battery use screen to identify if apps you've downloaded are consuming a large percentage of your battery power.

NOTE Allowing other devices to use your phone's hotspot connection will also drain your battery more quickly.

To check the battery power level:

The battery status (charging or discharging) and battery level (percentage charged) are displayed.

To monitor and control how battery power is being used:

From the Home screen, tap the Menu key > Settings > About phone > Battery > Battery use.

A battery usage graph is displayed along with battery usage time, estimated time remaining, and last 3 hours usage. The screen also lists the apps or services using battery power, listed in order from the greatest to the least amount used.

10The Basics

•Don't press too hard on the touchscreen. It's sensitive enough to pick up a light, yet ﬁrm tap.

•Use the tip of your ﬁnger to tap the option you want. Be careful not to tap any other keys.

For example, you can drag items on the Home screen to reposition them.

Double-tap – Tap the screen twice quickly to zoom, highlight text, or turn the screen off. For example, quickly double-tap a section of a webpage to adjust that section to ﬁt the width of the screen and zoom in and out when viewing a picture and when using Maps. Double-tap a word to highlight it.

16The Basics

Pinch-to-zoom – Use your index ﬁnger and thumb in a pinching motion (to zoom out) or spreading motion (to zoom in) when using Chrome, a map, photos, the Contacts list, the Favorites list, the Groups list, a music list, and Polaris Viewer 5 documents. Spread apart to make screen information larger (easier to see and read), or pinch together to view more area and information. The pinch gesture also changes the Home screen.
