Back Cover

Your phone is designed for simultaneous use of two SIM cards in the standby mode. However, the SIM cards can not be used simultaneously for calls or the Internet. If one SIM card is in a voice call, the other SIM card is not available.

This situation is caused by the function of the phone and is independent of the network. Such design can significantly reduce the power consumption of the phone in the standby mode.

3. Disconnect the charger when the battery is fully charged.

Extending the Battery Life

Active applications, screen brightness levels, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi usage and GPS functionality can drain your battery. You can follow the helpful tips below to conserve your battery power:

• Reduce the screen backlight time.

• Lower the screen brightness.

•

Turn Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and auto-sync off when not in use.

• Disable the GPS function when not in use. Most applications

using this function will periodically query the GPS satellites for your current location; each query drains your battery.

Protecting Your Phone With Encryption

You can encrypt all the data on your phone: Google Accounts, application data, music and other media, downloaded information, and so on. If you do, you must enter a numeric PIN or password each time you power on your phone.

WARNING! Encryption is irreversible. The only way to revert to an unencrypted phone is to perform a factory data reset, which erases all your data.

Encryption provides additional protection in case your phone is stolen, and may be required or recommended in some organizations. Consult your system administrator before turning it on. In many cases the PIN or password you set for encryption is controlled by the system administrator.

Before turning on encryption, prepare as follows:

● Set a lock screen PIN or password.

● Charge the battery.

● Keep the phone connected to the charger.

● Schedule an hour or more for the encryption process: you

must not interrupt it or you will lose some or all of your data.

When you're ready to turn on encryption:

1. Touch the Home Key > Menu Key > System settings > Security > Encrypt phone.

2. Read the information about encryption carefully. The Encrypt phone button is dimmed if your battery's not

charged or your phone's not plugged in. If you change your mind about encrypting your phone, touch

the Back Key. WARNING! If you interrupt the encryption process, you will

lose data.

3. Touch Encrypt phone.

4. Enter your lock screen PIN or password and touch Next.

5. Touch Encrypt phone again. The encryption process starts. Encryption can take an hour or

more, during which time your phone may restart several times. When encryption is completed, you're prompted to enter your

PIN or password. Subsequently, you must enter your PIN or password each time

you power on your phone, to decrypt it.
