your phone on
the big screen

Daydream

Expandable,
actionable
notications

Android 4.2 allows devices to enable
wireless display. You can share movies,
YouTube videos, and anything that’s on
your screen on an HDTV. Just connect a
wireless display adapter to any
HDMI-enabled TV to mirror what’s on
your screen quickly and easily.

Daydream lets your Android device display
useful and delightful information when
idle or docked. Show off your photo
albums, get the latest news from Google
Currents, and more.

Android has always put you in control
when it comes to staying notied and
connected. Just swipe down from the top
of the screen to see all your notications in
one place. Late for a meeting or missed a

With Jelly Bean it's now even easier to
personalize your home screen. As you place
widgets on the screen, everything else
automatically moves to make room. When
they're too big, widgets resize on their
own. Interacting with your favorite apps
and customizing your home screen has
never been easier.

Android's dictionaries are now more
accurate and relevant. With improved
speech-to-text capabilities, voice typing
on Android is even better. It works even
when you don't have a data connection, so
you can type with your voice everywhere
you go.

Zoom in on your screen by triple tapping on
the touch panel. While on magnication mode,
you can pan by dragging two ngers across the
screen and adjust zoom levels by pinching your
ngers. This feature works everywhere except
on the keyboard and on the navigation bar.

Provides spoken feedback to help blind and
low vision users. Talkback describes what to
touch, select, and deactivate.

Use the entire screen as a widescreen viewnder
when using the camera. (Note: may reduce
maximum resolution)

1.2 Battery

Note: Your Starmobile phone needs to be fully charged for rst time use.

1.2.1 Installing and Removing the Battery

• To install the battery:
Align the metal connectors of the battery with the battery
terminals. Push the battery in until it locks into the slot and
put the battery cover back in place.

• To remove the battery:
Lift the battery cover. Raise the bottom of the battery to
remove it from the battery slot.

1.2.2 Charging the Battery

• Plug one end of the charger into the USB/charging port then
plug the other end into a standard AC power outlet.

• Once connected, the battery icon will ash repeatedly on the
screen. When the battery level icon has stopped ashing, this
means that the battery is fully charged. It is normal for the
mobile phone and charger to become warm during charging.

• When charging is complete, disconnect the charger from both
the electrical outlet and the mobile phone.

ATTENTION:

• Charging must be performed in a well-ventilated area with a
temperature between -10°C and +45°C.

• Use only the supplied battery and charger. Using accessories of
other manufacturers or vendors may invalidate any approval or
warranty applicable to the device. It may result in non-operation of
the mobile phone or loss of information.

• If the mobile phone automatically shuts down or indicates that
“Battery is low”, it is advisable to charge your battery. If the battery
has not been entirely used up before recharging, the charging time
will automatically decrease.

1.3.1 Inserting SIM cards

Your Starmobile phone allows use of two separate SIM cards
at the same time.

• To install, make sure that the unit is turned off.

Make sure the beveled edge of the SIM card is properly

• Once the SIM card is in place, put in the battery and replace
the cover.

1.3.2 Inserting the Memory Card
Your mobile phone supports Micro SD cards up to 32GB.

• To install, make sure that the unit is turned off.

designated slot.

• Ensure that the beveled edge is properly aligned with the card

slot.

1.3.3 Turning Power On and Off

• Press and hold the Power key until the phone switches on.

2. Getting Started

2.1 Setting Up Your Phone

The rst time you turn on the phone, you'll see a Welcome screen.

• To choose a different language, go to Menu > Settings >
Personal > Language and input.

• To set up your phone, touch Start and follow the instructions.

A series of screens takes you through the setup process. If you already
have a Google or Gmail account, use your Gmail address and
password to log in. If you don't have Gmail or any other Google
Account, you may create one at www.gmail.com.

2.1.1 Why use a Google Account？

AGoogleAccountletsyouorganizeandaccessyourpersonal
informationfromanycomputerormobiledevice:

• Never lose your contacts again. When you sign into your
phone with a Google account, all the contacts associated
with that account in the Contacts application are automati­ cally backed up. As a result, they're always accessible through
your Gmail account from any computer.

• Synchronize and back up everything. Whether you draft
an email, add a phone number, add an event to your
calendar, or take a photo, your work gets backed up
continuously by Google and synchronized with any computer
where you use the same Google Account.

• Access from anywhere. Check your latest calendar, email,
text messages, or social stream wherever you are, no matter
what computer or mobile device you're using.

• Keep your information secure and available. Google
works round the clock to protect your personal data from
unauthorized access and to ensure that you get it when you
need it, wherever you need it.

• Use other Google services. Your Google Account also lets
you take full advantage of any other Google apps and
services that you may want to use, such as Gmail, Google
