Important notice

Please check if 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 10% 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 Touch > Apps tab > Settings >

Apps from the DEVICE category.

2 Once all applications appear, scroll

to and select the application you want to uninstall.

3 Touch Uninstall.

Important notice

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 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.

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

• Some applications you have downloaded may reduce battery power.

To check the battery power level:

• Touch > Apps tab > Settings > About phone from the SYSTEM category > Status.

The battery status (charging or not charging) and battery level

(percentage charged) is displayed at the top of the screen.

To monitor and control how battery power is being used:

• Touch > Apps tab > Settings > Power saver from the DEVICE category > Battery use from the BATTERY INFORMATION.

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. Using folders

You can combine several app icons in a folder. Drop one app icon over another on a home screen, and the two icons will be combined in a folder.

Important notice

4. Installing an open source application and OS

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, it may not work normally or a serious error may occur. You must uninstall those applications and all associated data and settings from the phone.

5. Using unlock pattern

Set unlock pattern to secure your phone. This opens a screen that guides you through how to draw a screen unlock pattern. You have to create a backup PIN as a safety measure if you forgot the pattern lock.

NOTE: Create a Google account before setting an unlock pattern and remember the backup PIN you created while creating the pattern lock.

WARNING

Precautions to take when using pattern lock.

It is very important to remember the unlock pattern you set. You have 5 opportunities to enter your unlock pattern, PIN or password. If you have used all 5 opportunities, you can try again after 30 seconds.

When you can’t recall your unlock pattern:

If you logged in to your Google account on the phone but failed to

Important notice

enter the correct pattern 5 times, tab the Forgot Pattern option on the bottom of the screen. You will be required to log in with your Google account or you have to enter the backup PIN which you entered while creating the pattern lock. If you have not created a Google account on the phone or you forgot the backup PIN, you have to perform a hard reset.

NOTE: If you perform a hard reset, all user applications and user data are deleted.

NOTE: If you have not logged in

Google account and forgot the unlock pattern, you need to enter the backup PIN.

6. Using the hard reset (factory reset)

If your phone does not restore to the original condition, use a Hard Reset (Factory Reset) to initialise it.

• Touch > Apps tab > Settings >

Backup & reset > Select Factory data reset.

WARNING

If you perform a Hard Reset, all user applications, user data and DRM licenses will be deleted. Please remember to backup any important data before performing a Hard Reset.

7. Opening and switching applications

Multitasking is easy with Android because you can keep more than one application running at the same time. There's 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 ensure that idle applications don't consume resources unnecessarily.

Important notice

To stop applications:

1 Touch > Apps tab > Settings >

Apps > Running.

2 Scroll and touch the desired appli-

cation and touch Stop to stop it.

To return to view list recently used applications:

Simply press and hold the Home key.
