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.
Enable the Secure start-up lock: If your device is lost or stolen, but
you've locked your start-up, it can't be powered on unless your unlock
requirement is entered.
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 password if you need to do a factory reset. This
ensures that you or someone you trust is doing the reset.
NOTE Do 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.
Touch Screen
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
available apps, make menu selections, and access data saved to your
phone.
Touch or tap A single finger touch selects items. For example, tap an
icon (e.g., an app, widget, or folder), tap words (e.g., menu selection or to
answer an on-screen question), or touch letters and numbers to type.
NOTE Don't press too hard on the screen. It's sensitive enough to detect a light, firm tap.
23
24
The Basics
Touch and hold Touch an item on the screen and don't lift your finger
until an action occurs. For example, to open a context menu for a contact,
touch and hold the contact entry until the menu pops up.
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.
For example, you can drag items on the Home screen to reposition them.
Swipe, slide, or flick Move your finger quickly 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 browse through the Home screens by
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-tap Tap 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 Maps and in other apps. Double-tap a word to highlight it.
Double-tap can also activate the KnockON feature to turn the screen on or
off.
NOTE Certain Accessibility features (such as Touch zoom) use a triple-tap gesture to zoom or
activate functions.
Multi-touch Use your index finger and thumb in a pinch motion (to zoom
out) or spread motion (to zoom in) when using Chrome, a map, photos,
the rear camera lens, and in lists (e.g., Contacts, Groups, the Messaging
list, and a music list). Spread apart to make screen information larger
(easier to see and read), or pinch together to view more area and
information. The pinch gesture also affects the Home screen. Spread
apart on the Home screen to hide all of your Home screen items, then
pinch in to redisplay them.

screen adjusts to the phone’
s physical orientation by rotating the screen.
You can deactivate this function in the Display settings menu.
