Care for your phone

To clean the screen:
While this does not disinfect your phone, the best way to keep your phone clean is to wipe it thoroughly with a
•
dry soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cloths, including paper towels and other materials with rough surfaces.
If the screen gets drops of liquid on it, wipe it with a clean, dry cloth.
•
To disinfect your phone:
It is okay to use wipes or cloths moistened with 70% isopropyl alcohol or Clorox® Disinfecting Wipes to gently
•
wipe your screen.
When disinfecting or cleaning your phone, turn it off and avoid getting any moisture in its openings, including
•
the charging port, headphone jack, microphones and speakers.
Don't submerge your phone in any cleaning agents, avoid using any cleaners with bleach or abrasives, and
•
avoid spraying cleaners directly on the screen.
The CDC advises to clean and disinfect frequently touched surfaces daily.

Insert and remove SIM and SD cards

About the SD card

Your phone supports a microSD card up to 1 TB.
A Class 2, 4, or 6 card is sufficient.
Your phone uses the card as portable storage for media files: photos, videos, and music. Because it's portable, you can easily swap the card and its content between devices. After you insert the card, be sure to update settings within media apps (like camera, music, and podcast apps), so they use the card to store content you create or download.
You can't store apps on the SD card because it is portable storage.

Insert or replace cards

1. If you are removing an SD card, unmount it first (Settings > Storage).
2. Insert the tool into the hole in the tray and gently push to pop it out.

If this is your first smartphone

Learn the basics
To get around your phone, here are the key concepts.
•
You can choose how you move between apps and screens: gestures or icons.
In addition to touching the screen to select items, you can use other gestures, such as pinch to zoom.
•
The icons at the top of your home screen tell you important stuff at a glance, like your phone’s battery level
•
and network connection, and whether you’ve missed a call.
Your phone and apps send you notifications for things like new messages, calendar events, and upcoming
•
alarms. You’ll find notifications in several places, and can do a lot with them.
To learn about these common tasks, touch one below:
Answer a call.
•
18
Make a call.
•
Set an alarm.
•
Turn the flashlight on/off.
•
Listen to music.
•
Get apps
Your phone comes with many fun and useful apps, but you can really unlock its power by installing apps that suit your lifestyle. Go to Play Store to explore free and paid apps that help you be more productive, organized, informed, in touch, and entertained.
Protect your phone
You carry your phone around with you, and accidents happen; phones get lost sometimes. So set up some security and prevent heartache if you and your phone become separated.
Set up a screen lock. This is your first line of defense in keeping your sensitive information safe. Prefer numbers, shapes, words? Set up a PIN, pattern, or password required to unlock your phone. Learn how.
A screen lock doesn't prevent you from immediately answering a call or accessing your camera.
Display your owner info. On your lock screen, you can discreetly display a “please return” message with some of your contact info so that, if your phone is lost, someone can to return it to you. Learn how.
Enable lost phone features. For peace of mind, check out Find My Device, in case you ever need to remotely locate and lock or erase your phone.
Personalize your phone
While changing your wallpaper is probably your first customization, don't stop there. Be sure to explore your
Settings to set ringtones, font sizes, data usage preferences, keyboard preferences, and much more. It's a great
way to learn many of your phone's capabilities while customizing it to suit your needs.
Learn the basics : New to Android?
In most apps you can touch or for app-specific settings. Be sure to see what options are available to you there, too.
19
Manage cellular data
Understand your data usage. Keep an eye on your data usage and learn how to make the most of it. See which
apps use large amounts of data and adjust their settings. If your phone is using too much data, you can also stop accounts from auto-syncing.
Use Wi-Fi to conserve cellular data. When you connect to a Wi-Fi network, your data will use that network connection instead of your carrier's network, saving your cellular data for when you need it. Learn how to connect
to Wi-Fi networks.
Useful to know
Find phone info. To find your phone number, device name, and other information, go to Settings > About phone.
Tell your phone what to do. Use your phone hands-free with voice commands. Tell it to navigate you, and listen
to it speak the directions to you as you drive--it'll even reroute you if you've gone off course. Tell it to set alarms, find information on the web, make calls.

storage on Drive, which has its own app and is also available from the menu throughout other apps.
Wi-Fi hotspot. You can use your phone as a Wi-Fi hotspot to share your internet connection with your other devices that need internet access (for example, a laptop or tablet).
Reboot phone. In the unlikely event that your phone becomes unresponsive, frozen, shows a blank or black screen, or doesn't respond to the Power button, you can reboot it. Press and hold the Power button for 7 - 10 seconds. The phone will restart normally.
Certain features, services, and applications are network or carrier dependent and may not be available in all areas.
