and USB cable) to charge your device from any
110/220 VAC outlet.

1. Insert the USB cable into the port.

2. Connect the USB cable to the charging head,
then plug the charging head into a standard
ACpower outlet.

When to Charge the Battery

When the battery is weak and only a few minutes of
talk time remain, the device sounds a warning tone
at regular intervals.

In this condition, your device conserves its
remaining battery power, not by turning off the back
light, but by entering the dimming mode.

When the battery level becomes too low, the device
automatically turns off.

► For a quick check of your battery level, locate

the battery charge indicator located in the upper­right corner of your device’s display. Solid color
(

) indicates a full charge.

You can also choose to display a percentage
value. Having a percentage value onscreen can
provide a better idea of the remaining charge on
the battery. For more information, see Battery.

Before You Start Exercising

This app can be used to monitor your exercise.
While moderate physical activity, such as brisk
walking, is safe for most people, health experts
suggest that you talk with your doctor before you
start an exercise program, particularly if you have
any of the following conditions:

Heart disease;

•

Asthma or lung disease;

•

Diabetes, or liver or kidney disease;

•

A heart murmur or a rapid or pronounced

•

heartbeat;

Muscle pain when walking upstairs or up a hill that

•

goes away when you rest.

Finally, the American College of Sports Medicine
recommends that you see your doctor before
engaging in vigorous exercise if two or more of the
following apply:

You are a man older than age 45 or a woman

•

older than age 55;

You have a family history of heart disease before

•

age 55;

You smoke or quit smoking in the past six months;

•

You have not exercised for three months or more;

•

You are overweight or obese;

•

You have high blood pressure or high cholesterol.

•

You have impaired glucose tolerance, also called

•

prediabetes.

Arthritis.

•

You should also check with your doctor if you have
symptoms suggestive of heart, lung, or other serious
disease, such as:

Pain or discomfort in your chest, neck, jaw, or

•

arms during physical activity;

Dizziness or loss of consciousness;

•

Shortness of breath with mild exertion or at rest,

•

or when lying down or going to bed;

When in Doubt — Check It Out

If you are unsure of your health status, have several
health problems, or are pregnant, you should speak
with your doctor before starting a new exercise
program. Working with your doctor ahead of time is
a good way to plan an exercise program that is right
and safe for you. Consider it the first step on your
path to physical fitness.

Pair Bluetooth Devices

The Bluetooth pairing process allows you to
establish trusted connections between your device
and another Bluetooth device.

Delete a Paired Device (Unpairing)

When you unpair from a Bluetooth device, the two
devices will no longer recognize each other. To
connect again, you’d need to pair the devices.

Pairing between two Bluetooth devices is a one­time process. Once a pairing is created, the devices
will continue to recognize their partnership and
exchange information without having to re-enter a
passcode again.

1. From a Home screen, tap
Settings.

2. Tap Bluetooth, and then tap ON/OFF to turn on

Bluetooth.

3. Make sure that the target device is discoverable,

so that your device can find it. Refer to the
instructions that came with the device to find out
how to set it to discoverable mode.

4. Tap Scan. Your device will start to scan for

Bluetooth devices within range.

5. When you see the name of the target device

displayed in the Bluetooth devices section, tap
the name. Your phone then automatically tries to
pair with the target device. If automatic pairing
fails, enter the passcode supplied with the target
device.

Note: Due to different specifications and features
of other Bluetooth-compatible devices, display and
operations may be different, and functions such as
transfer or exchange may not be possible with all
Bluetooth compatible devices.
