Important notice
Please read this before you start using your phone!
Please check to see whether any problems you encountered with your phone are
described in this section before taking the phone in for service or calling a service
representative.
1. Phone memory
When there is less than 10MB of space available in your phone memory, your phone
cannot receive new messages. You must check your phone memory and delete some
data, such as applications or messages, to make more memory available.
To uninstall applications:
1 Ta p > > > General tab > Apps.
2 Once all applications appear, scroll to and select the application you want to
uninstall.
3 Ta p Uninstall > OK.
2. Optimizing battery life
Extend your battery's power by turning off features that you do not need to run
constantly in the background. You can monitor how applications and system resources
consume battery power.
Extending your phone's battery life:
• Turn off radio communications when you are not using. If you are not using Wi-Fi,
Bluetooth or GPS, turn them off.
• Reduce screen brightness and set a shorter screen timeout.
4
Important notice
• Turn off automatic syncing for Gmail, Calendar, Contacts and other applications.
• Some applications you download may consume battery power.
• While using downloaded applications, check the battery charge level.
3. Before installing an open source application and OS
WARNING
If you install and use an OS other than the one provided by the manufacturer
it may cause your phone to malfunction. In addition, your phone will no longer
be covered by the warranty.
WARNING
To protect your phone and personal data, only download applications from
trusted sources, such as Play Store™. If there are improperly installed
applications on your phone, the phone may not work normally or a serious
error may occur. You must uninstall those applications and all associated data
and settings from the phone.
4. Opening and switching applications
Multitasking is easy with Android; you can keep more than one application running at
the same time. There is no need to quit an application before opening another. Use and
switch between several open applications. Android manages each application, stopping
and starting them as needed to make sure that idle applications don't consume
resources unnecessarily.

NOTE: Proximity sensor
When receiving and making calls, the proximity sensor automatically turns
the backlight off and locks the touch screen by sensing when the phone is
near your ear. This extends battery life and prevents you from unintentionally
activating the touch screen during calls.
WARNING
Placing a heavy object on the phone or sitting on it can damage the display
and touch screen functions. Do not cover the proximity sensor with screen
protectors or any other type of protective film. This could cause the sensor to
malfunction.

Touch screen tips
Here are some tips on how to navigate on your phone.
• Tap or touch – A single finger tap selects items, links, shortcuts and letters on the
on-screen keyboard.
• Touch and hold – Touch and hold an item on the screen by tapping it and not
lifting your finger until an action occurs.
• Drag – Touch and hold an item for a moment and then, without lifting your finger,
move your finger on the screen until you reach the target position. You can drag
items on the Home screen to reposition them.
• Swipe or slide – To swipe or slide, quickly move your finger across the surface
of the screen, without pausing when you first tap it (so you don’t drag an item
instead).
• Double-tap – Double-tap to zoom on a webpage or a map (if the feature is
supported by the application).
• Pinch-to-Zoom – Use your index finger and thumb in a pinching or spreading
motion to zoom in or out when using the browser or maps, or when browsing
pictures (if the feature is supported by the application).
• Rotate the screen – From many applications and menus, the screen orientation
adjusts to the device's physical orientation.
NOTE
• Do not press too hard; the tap screen is 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 buttons.
