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.

●Recent Apps Key allows you to access the recently-used applications window. Touch and hold to open the options available for the current app, feature, function, or screen.

●Home Key returns you to the Home screen. Touch and hold to open Google Now.

●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.

●Microphone allows you to transmit your voice to the other caller and is used for voiceactivated functions.

●Speaker lets you hear the different ringtones and sounds. The speaker also lets you hear the caller's voice in speakerphone mode.

Your phone allows you to quickly turn the screen off when not in use and to turn it back on and unlock it when you need it.

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 phone's screen is off.

Note: For information on how to adjust the time before the screen turns off, see Screen Timeout.

●Quickly double-tap the center of the screen to turn the screen on.

●Quickly double-tap the Status Bar, an empty area on the Home screen, or the Lock screen to turn the screen off.

Unlock Your Screen Using the Knock Code Feature

Note: The Knock Code feature can be turned on and off in the Lock screen settings. From the Home screen, tap > touch and hold > Lock screen settings > Select screen lock >

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

Phone Basics

Swipe or Slide

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.

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. Tap > touch and hold > System settings > Display > Autorotate 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.

■Press the Power/Lock Button .

Unlock Your Phone

Your Home Screen

The home screen is the starting point for your phone's applications, functions, and menus. You can customize your home screen by adding application icons, shortcuts, folders, widgets, and more.

Home Screen Overview
