Phone Basics
Your phone is packed with features that simplify your life and expand your ability to stay
connected to the people and information that are important to you. The following topics will
introduce the basic functions and features of your phone.
Your Phone’s Layout
The illustrations and descriptions below outline your phone‘s basic layout.
Key Functions
● Earpiece lets you hear the caller and automated prompts.
● Back Key lets you return to the previous screen, or close a dialog box, options
menu, the Notifications panel, or onscreen keyboard.
● Speaker lets you hear the different ringtones and sounds. The speaker also lets you
hear the caller‘s voice in speakerphone mode.
● Menu Key allows you to access the options available for the current app, feature,
function, or screen.
● Home Button returns you to the Home screen. Press and hold to open the
recently-used applications window.
● Power/Lock Button lets you turn the phone on or off or turn the screen on or off, or
switch your phone to silent mode, vibration mode, or airplane mode.
● Front-Facing Camera Lens takes pictures and records videos while facing the screen,
and allows you to video conference.
● Proximity Sensor detects how close an object is to the surface of the screen. This is
typically used to detect when your face is pressed up against the screen, such as during
a phone call.
While talking on the phone, the sensor detects talk activity and locks the keypad to
prevent accidental keypresses.
● Charger/Accessory Port allows you to connect the phone charger or the USB cable
(included).
● NFC Antenna allows you to use features such as NFC and Android Beam to send and
receive data wirelessly.
Phone Basics 5
● Volume Buttons allows you to adjust the ringtone or media volume or adjust the voice
volume during a call.
● Flash helps illuminate subjects in low-light environments when the camera is focusing
and capturing a picture or video.
● Back-Facing Camera Lens lets you take pictures and videos.
● 3.5 mm Headset Jack allows you to plug in either a stereo headset or an optional
headset for convenient, hands-free conversations.
● IR(infrared) LED allows you to use the QuickRemote app to control your TV and cable
box.
CAUTION! Inserting an accessory into the incorrect jack may damage the phone.
Turn Your Phone On and Off
The instructions below explain how to turn your phone on and off.
Turn Your Phone On

Turn the Screen Off When Not in Use
■ To quickly turn the screen off, press the Power/Lock Button. Pressing the Power/Lock
Button again or receiving an incoming call will turn on your phone screen and show the
lock screen.
To save battery power, the phone automatically turns off the screen after a certain period of
time when you leave it idle. You will still be able to receive messages and calls while the

Touchscreen Navigation
Your device is a touch-sensitive phone which allows you to select an on-screen option with a
single touch and to easily scroll through long lists. Simply slide up and down through the display
with your fingertip.
Touch
When you want to type using the onscreen keyboard, select items onscreen such as application
and settings icons, or press onscreen buttons, simply touch them with your finger.
Touch and Hold
To open the available options for an item (for example, a contact or link in a Web page), touch
and hold the item.
Swipe or Slide
To swipe or slide means to quickly drag your finger vertically or horizontally across the screen.
Drag
To drag, press and hold your finger with some pressure before you start to move your finger.
While dragging, do not release your finger until you have reached the target position.
Flick
Flicking the screen is similar to swiping, except that you need to swipe your finger in light, quick
strokes. This finger gesture is always in a vertical direction, such as when flicking the contacts
or message list.
Phone Basics 7
Rotate
For most screens, you can automatically change the screen orientation from portrait to
landscape by turning the phone sideways. When entering text, you can turn the phone sideways
to bring up a bigger keyboard.
Note: The Auto-rotate check box needs to be selected for the screen orientation to
automatically change. Press > > System settings > Display > Auto-rotate
screen.
Tip: You can also access the screen rotation setting from the Notifications screen. Pull down
the Notifications bar and touch Rotation to select or deselect the option.
Pinch and Spread
―Pinch‖ the screen using your thumb and forefinger to zoom out or ―spread‖ the screen to zoom
in when viewing a picture or a Web page. (Move fingers inward to zoom out and outward to
zoom in.)
Lock and Unlock Your Phone
You can prevent accidental screen touches from activating phone functions by locking your
phone.
