card is activated and ready to use. If you ordered a new phone,
the card may need to be activated before you can use it. For
more information about activating the SIM card, visit:

http://www.verizonwireless.com/4GSIM

Caution!:

Do not bend or scratch the SIM card. Take care when handling,
installing, or removing the SIM card, and avoid exposing the SIM
card to static electricity, water, or dirt. Keep the SIM card out of
reach of small children.

Joining Contacts

Your phone can synchronize with multiple accounts, including
Google, Corporate Exchange, and other providers, plus social
networking sites like Facebook and Twitter. When you
synchronize contacts from these accounts with your phone, you
may have multiple contacts for one person.

Joining imported contact records to a phone contact allows you
to see all the contact’s numbers and addresses together in one
Contact record. Joining also helps you keep your contacts
updated, because any changes that your contacts make to their
information in the respective accounts is automatically updated
the next time you synchronize with the account.

: Slide the phone open to enter text by

pressing keys on the physical keyboard.

•

Swype

: Swype is a new text input method that allows you to enter
words by gliding your finger over the virtual QWERTY keyboard, lifting
your finger between words. You can also enable Word prediction,

input, so you can speak text to enter.

Choosing the Input Method

Entering Text Using Swype

Swype is a new way to enter text on touch screens. Instead of
touching each key, use your finger to trace over each letter of a
word. For each word, place your finger on the first letter and glide
to the subsequent letters, lifting on the last letter.

This example shows how to enter the word “this”. Put your finger
down on the “t”, and without lifting, glide it to the “h”, then to the
“i” then over to the “s”.

Here are a few tips to get you started:

•

Spacing is automatic

: When you finish a word, just lift your finger and

start the next word.

•

Double letters

•

Capitalization

: Just “scribble” on the key.

: Swype recognizes and capitalizes the first word of
sentences. If you want to capitalize a word that isn’t at the beginning
of a sentence, just glide above the keyboard before gliding over the
next letter.

•

Contractions

: Swype recognizes most words that include an
apostrophe; just swype the letters of the word, including the
apostrophe.

•

Punctuation

: Tap and hold a key to view a punctuation menu and

make a selection.

•

Accented characters

: Just glide through the letters of the word.

Swype usually recognizes the word and correctly accents the letters.

•

Error correction

: If you make a mistake, double-tap on the word you

want to change.
