Navigation, etc.) can vary depending on its software version.
Locations are inaccurate when GPS and Wi-Fi are not set to On.
With the Android operating system, some available Play Store
applications only operate correctly with phones that have a specific
screen resolution. Please be advised that some of the applications on the

FCC RF Exposure Information
Read this information before operating the phone.
WARNING!
In August 1996, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the
United States, with its action in Report and Order FCC 96-326, adopted
an updated safety standard for human exposure to Radio Frequency (RF)
electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC regulated transmitters. Those
guidelines are consistent with the safety standard previously set by both U.S.
and international standards bodies. The design of this phone complies with
the FCC guidelines and those international standards.
Bodily Contact During Operation
This device was tested for typical use with the back of the phone kept
0.39 inches (1.0 cm) from the body. To comply with FCC RF exposure
requirements, a minimum separation distance of 0.39 inches (1.0 cm)
must be maintained between the user’s body and the back of the phone.
Third-party belt-clips, holsters, and similar accessories containing metallic
components may not be used. Avoid the use of accessories that cannot
maintain 0.39 inches (1.0 cm) distance between the user’s body and the
back of the phone and have not been tested for compliance with FCC RF
exposure limits.
Technical Details
Vehicle-Mounted External Antenna
(Optional, if available.)
To satisfy FCC RF exposure requirements, keep 8 inches (20 cm) between
the user / bystander and vehicle-mounted external antenna. For more
information about RF exposure, visit the FCC website at www.fcc.gov.
Part 15.19 statement
This device complies with part 15 of FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following
two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept
any interference received, including interference that causes undesired operation.
Part 15.21 statement
Changes or modifications that are not expressly approved by the
manufacturer could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
Part 15.105 statement
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a
class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are
designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in
a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate
radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with
the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference or
television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off
and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or
more of the following measures:
- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to
which the receiver is connected.
- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

Touch Screen tips
Here are some tips on how to navigate on your phone.
Tap or touch – A single finger tap selects items, links, shortcuts and letters
on the on-screen keyboard.
Touch and hold – Touch and hold an item on the screen by touching it and
not lifting your finger until an action occurs. For example, to open a contact’s
available options, touch and hold the contact in the Contacts list until the
context menu opens.
Drag – Touch and hold an item for a moment and then, without lifting your
finger, move your finger on the screen until you reach the target position.
You can drag items on the Home screen to reposition them.
Swipe or slide – To swipe or slide, quickly move your finger across the
surface of the screen, without pausing when you first touch it (so you don’t
drag an item instead). For example, you can slide the screen up or down
to scroll through a list, or browse through the different Home screens by
swiping from left to right (and vice versa).
Double-tap – Double-tap to zoom on a webpage or a map. For example,
quickly double-tap a section of a webpage to adjust that section to fit the
width of the screen. You can also double-tap to zoom in and out after taking
a picture (using the Camera), and when using Maps.
Pinch-to-Zoom – Use your index finger and thumb in a pinching or
spreading motion to zoom in or out when using the browser or Maps, or
when browsing pictures.
Rotate the screen – From many applications and menus, the orientation of
the screen adjusts to the device’s physical orientation.
NOTE
To select an item, touch the center of the icon.
Do not press too hard; the touch screen is sensitive enough to pick up a light, yet firm
