The buttons you use with Neffos include virtual ones and physical ones.

Unlock Neffos: Press the Power button, then swipe the screen to unlock your phone screen. For

additional security, you can require a password to unlock you phone. Go to

Settings -> Lock

screen -> Screen lock to choose a safe way to unlock your phone.

 

Turn Neffos on: Press and hold the Power button until your phone vibrates and the logo appears.
