What’s new with Android 4.2 “Jelly Bean”?

Share what’s on
your phone on
the big screen

Daydream

Expandable,
actionable
notications

Android 4.2 allows devices to enable

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.

when it comes to staying notied and

like magic

keyboard, now
with Gesture

Improved
Dictionaries

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.

Up, down and all around you, it’s like no
camera you’ve ever seen. With Android 4.2,
snap pictures in every direction that come
together into incredible, immersive photo
spheres that put you right inside the scene.
View your photo spheres right on your
phone, share them on Google+ with your
friends and family, or even add them to
Google Maps for the world to see.

Writing messages on the go is easier than
ever with Gesture Typing – just glide your
nger over the letters you want to type,
and lift after each word. You don’t have to
worry about spaces because they’re added
automatically for you.

The keyboard can anticipate and predict
the next word, so you can nish entire
sentences just by selecting suggested
words. Power through your messages like
never before.

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

1.2 Charging your Battery

• Your Starmobile KNIGHT needs to be fully charged for rst

use.

• Make sure the unit is turned off 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 repeatedly ash at the
top right corner of the screen. If the mobile phone is charging
while powered off, a battery indicator will also appear on the
screen. If the mobile phone has been depleted of battery life,
it will take awhile before a charging indicator appears on
screen after it has been plugged to a power source.

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

When the battery level icon has stopped ashing, this means that the
battery is fully charged. This process usually takes 3 hours. It is normal
for the mobile phone and charger to become warm during charging.

ATTENTION:

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

• Use only the Starmobile-supplied battery and charger with your
Starmobile KNIGHT. Using accessories of other manufacturers or
vendors with your Starmobile KNIGHT may invalidate any approval
or warranty applicable to the device. It may result in non-operation
of the mobile phone or lost 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 Connecting to a Network

1.3.1 Inserting your SIM cards

Your Starmobile KNIGHT allows use of two separate SIM cards
at the same time (1 standard SIM and Micro SIM).

3

KNIGHT

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

• Slide in the SIM card with its gold chip facing downward.

Make sure the beveled edge of the SIM card is properly
aligned with the card slot. Once the SIM card is in place, put
in the battery and replace the cover.

1.3.2 Inserting your Memory Card
Your mobile phone supports micro SD cards up to 32GB.

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

• Open the back casing gently Push the memory card tray to

open the latch

• When installing a micro SD card, ensure that its gold chip is

facing downward and that its beveled edge is properly
aligned with the card slot.

• Slide the card tray back into place to lock.

1.3.3 Turning Power On and Off

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

• If you turn on the mobile phone without having inserted a

SIM card, the phone will display “Emergency call”. If a SIM
card has been inserted, the phone will automatically check if
the SIM is useable.

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 when asked. If you don't have Gmail or any other Google
Account, you may create one on 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 you associate
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
