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

volume during a call.
● Flash helps illuminate subjects in low-light environments when the camera is focusing
and capturing a picture or video.

with your fingertip.

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.

■ Press the Power/Lock Button .
Unlock Your Phone
1. Press the Power/Lock Button to wake up the phone.

more security to guard against unauthorized use, you can set an unlock requirement (such as a
pattern, PIN, or password) that will need to be entered to unlock it.
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.
