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.

phone to silent mode, vibration mode, or airplane mode.
Phone Basics 6
● 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.
● 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.

when you need it.
Phone Basics 7
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.
Turn the Screen On and Unlock It
1. To turn the screen on, press the Power/Lock Button.
2. Swipe your finger across the screen to unlock it.
If you have set up a screen lock, you will be prompted to enter it. See Lock screen.
Turning the screen on using the KnockON feature
The KnockON feature allows you to double-tap the screen to easily turn the screen on or off.
● 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.
Note: The KnockON feature can be turned on and off in the Gestures menu. From the Home screen,
press > > System settings > Gestures > remove the checkmark from the Screen on/off
checkbox.
Unlocking your screen using the Knock Code feature
The Knock Code feature allows you to create your own unlock code using a combination of knocks (or
taps) on the screen.
■ While the screen is off, tap the same sequence you established anywhere on the screen. The
Home screen will be accessed directly.
Note: The Knock Code feature can be turned on and off in the Lock screen settings. From the Home
screen, press > > Lock screen settings > Select screen lock > Knock Code. Then follow
the instructions to create your unlock sequence, as well as a Backup PIN in case you forget your unlock
sequence. Please note that KnockON is disabled when Knock Code is in use.
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.
Phone Basics 8
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.
Phone Basics 9
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.
Phone Basics 10
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.
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

viewing a picture or a Web page. (Move fingers inward to zoom out and outward to zoom in.)
Phone Basics 11
Lock and Unlock Your Phone
You can prevent accidental screen touches from activating phone functions by locking your phone.
Lock Your Phone
When your phone is locked, you can only receive incoming calls or make calls to 9-1-1.
■ Press the Power/Lock Button .
Unlock Your Phone
1. Press the Power/Lock Button to wake up the phone.
2. Swipe the screen to any direction to unlock it.
Phone Basics 12
Note: The default Lock screen simply locks the screen to prevent unintentional actions. For 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.
Guest Mode
Use Guest mode when you let someone else use your phone. They will only be able to use the
applications that you„ve selected. Once you set it up, you can easily put your phone in Guest mode by
drawing the guest pattern on the Lock screen that you set, which is different from your normal unlock
pattern.
Note: Guests can also use applications that your selected applications link to.
Setting Up Guest Mode
This section teaches you how to set up Guest Mode if another person uses your phone.
1. Press > > System settings > Guest mode.
2. Tap Set pattern, then set the pattern you want to use to put your device in Guest mode.
3. Tap Set apps to view which apps can be accessed in Guest mode. Tap the Add icon in the
