USB Type-C Cable
You can use your computer to charge your phone. To be able to charge with

installed on your PC first. Connect one end of the USB Type-C cable to the
USB/Charger Type-C port on your phone (as shown above) and connect the
other end to a USB Type-C port on your PC. It’s best to use the rear USB
Type-C port when connecting to a desktop PC. The USB hub should be
powered by an external power source.

Anti-Theft Guide
You can set up your device to prevent other people from using it if it’s been
reset to factory settings without your permission. For example, if your
device is lost, stolen, or wiped, only someone with your Google Account or
screen lock information can use the device.
All you need to make sure your device is protected is:
Set a screen lock: If your device is lost or stolen but you have a screen
!
lock set, the device can’t be erased using the Settings menu unless your
screen is unlocked.
Add your Google Account on your device: If your device is wiped but
!
you have your Google Account on it, the device can’t finish the setup
process until your Google Account information is entered again.
After your device is protected, you’ll need to either unlock your screen or
enter your Google Account and password if you need to do a factory reset.
This ensures that you or someone you trust is doing the reset.
NOTEDo not forget your Google Account and password you had added to your device
prior to performing a factory reset. If you can't provide the account information
during the setup process, you won't be able to use the device at all after performing
the factory reset.
To u c h S c r e e n
Your touch screen provides an excellent way to interact with and use your
Android™ phone. With the touch of your finger, you can download and use

For example, you ca n d rag items o n t he Home scr een to reposit ion them.
Swipe, slide, or flickMove your finger quickly across the surface of the

swiping left and right, slide the screen up or down to scroll through a list,
or remove an app from the Recent apps screen by flicking its graphic off
the screen.
Double-tapTap the screen twice quickly to zoom, highlight text, or turn
the screen on/off. For example, quickly double-tap a section of a web page
to zoom that section to fit the width of the screen and control the zoom in
