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.

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.

activated functions.

volume during a call.

and capturing a picture or video.

To use Wi-Fi on your phone, you must connect to a wireless access point, or hotspot. Some
access points are open and you can simply connect to them without entering any information.
Others are hidden or implement other security features, so you must configure your phone to
connect to them.
Turn off Wi-Fi when you're not using it to extend the life of your battery.
When you connect to a Wi-Fi network, the phone obtains a network address and other
information it needs from the network, using the DHCP protocol. To configure the phone with a
static IP address and other advanced settings, tap > Advanced Wi-Fi from the Wi-Fi

Bluetooth
Bluetooth is a short-range communications technology that allows you to connect wirelessly to a
number of Bluetooth phones, such as headsets and hands-free car kits, Bluetooth-enabled
handhelds, computers, printers, and wireless phones. The Bluetooth communication range is
usually up to approximately 30 feet.
Turn Bluetooth On and Off
By default, your phone's Bluetooth feature is set to off.
Note: Activating Bluetooth can drain your battery faster and reduce your available usage times.
To conserve your phone's battery, turn off Bluetooth when not in use. Always turn off your
Bluetooth when you are in locations that prohibit its use.
Turn Bluetooth On
1. Tap > touch and hold > System settings > Bluetooth.
2. Tap to activate the feature. When active, appears within the Status Bar.
Turn Bluetooth Off
1. Tap > touch and hold > System settings > Bluetooth.
Tools and Calendar 86

secure connections while bypassing the discovery and authentication process.
Pair Your Phone
1. Verify your Bluetooth is active.
2. From the Bluetooth settings page, tap the check box next to your device name to make
your phone visible. Your phone must be visible to successfully pair with an external
device. If you want to search a new device, you also need to make that device
visible.(See the instruction manual from the manufacturer.)

devices.)

code.
Note: Due to different specifications and features of other Bluetooth-compatible phones, display
and operations may be different, and functions such as transfer or exchange may not be
possible with all Bluetooth compatible phones.
Tools and Calendar 88
Pairing between two Bluetooth phones is a one-time process. Once a pairing has been created,
the phones will continue to recognize their partnership and exchange information without having
to re-enter a passcode again.
Disconnect from a Bluetooth Device
You can manually disconnect from a Bluetooth device through the Bluetooth settings menu.
Disconnect a Paired Phone
Disconnecting a paired device breaks the connection between the device and your phone, but
retains the pairing. At a later point when you wish to reconnect the device, there is no need to
setup the connection information again.
1. Verify your Bluetooth is active.
2. In the Bluetooth devices section, touch the device name to disconnect.
3. Touch OK.
Note: Disconnections are manually done but often occur automatically if the paired device goes
out of range of your phone or if it is powered off.
Send Items via Bluetooth
Depending on your paired phone's settings and capabilities, you may be able to send pictures,
videos, Contacts information, or other items using a Bluetooth connection.
Note: Prior to using this feature, Bluetooth must first be enabled, and the recipient's phone must
be visible. If no phones are detected, tap Search for devices to begin a new search.
Send Contact Information
