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 need to check your phone memory and delete some data, such as applications or messages, to make more memory available.

To uninstall applications:

1 From the Home screen, tap > Apps tab (if necessary) > Settings >

Apps.

2 Once all applications appear, scroll to and select the application you want to

uninstall.

3 Tap Uninstall, then tap OK to confirm.

2. Optimizing battery life

Extend your battery's life between charges by turning off features that you don't need to have running 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 that you're not using. If you are not using Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or GPS, turn them off.

Important notice

•

Reduce screen brightness and set a shorter screen timeout.

•

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

•

Some applications you have downloaded may reduce battery power.

To check the battery power level:

•

From the Home screen, tap > Apps tab (if necessary) > Settings > About phone > Battery.

The battery status (charging or discharging) and battery level (percentage charged) is displayed at the top of the screen.

To monitor and control how battery power is being used:

•

From the Home screen, tap > Apps tab (if necessary) > Settings > About phone > Battery > Battery use.

Battery usage time is displayed on the screen. It tells you how long it has been since you last connected your phone to a power source or, if currently connected, how long the phone was last running on battery power. The screen shows the applications or services using battery power, listed in order from the greatest to smallest amount used.

3. Before installing an open source application and operating system (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. Using a screen lock

Set a screen lock to secure your phone and prevent unauthorized use. From the Home screen, tap > Select screen lock > Knock Code, Pattern, PIN, or Password. You might be prompted to create a Backup PIN as a safety measure in case you forget your screen lock.

Caution: Create a Google account before setting a screen lock and remember the Backup PIN you created when creating your screen lock.

> Apps tab (if necessary) > Settings > Lock screen

Important notice

WARNING

Precautions to take when using a pattern lock.

It is very important to remember the screen lock you set. You will not be able to access your phone if you use an incorrect screen lock 5 times. If you have used all 5 opportunities, you can try again after 30 seconds.

5. Opening and switching applications

Multi-tasking is easy with Android because you can keep more than one application running at the same time. There is no need to quit an application before opening another one. Use and switch between several open applications. Android manages each application, stopping and starting them as needed to ensure that idle applications don't consume resources unnecessarily.

To stop applications:

1 From the Home screen, tap > Apps tab (if necessary) > Settings >

Apps > RUNNING.

2 Tap the desired application and tap Stop to stop it.

6. Transferring music, photos and videos using Media sync (MTP)

1 Connect the phone to your PC using the USB cable provided with your phone. 2 A USB connection type list will appear on your phone screen. Tap the Media sync

(MTP) option.

3 Select the Open device to view files option on your PC. You can then view media

contents on your PC and transfer the files.

4 Copy the files from your PC to the drive folder or vice versa. 5 Drag the Status Bar down and tap USB connected > Charge phone. 6 Disconnect the USB cable from your phone.

7. Hold your phone upright

Hold your cell phone vertically, as you would a regular phone. Your phone has an internal antenna. Be careful not to scratch or damage the back of the phone, as this may affect performance. When making/receiving calls or sending/receiving data, avoid holding the lower part of the phone where the antenna is located. Doing so may affect call quality.

8. When the screen freezes

If the phone does not respond to user input or the screen freezes: To turn the phone on, Remove the battery > Reinsert it > Press and hold the Power/ Lock Key.
