Touch
Touch & Hold

To act on items on the screen, such as application and settings icons, to type letters and symbols using the onscreen keyboard, or
to press onscreen buttons, you simply touch them with your nger.
Touch & hold an item on the screen by touching it and not lifting
your nger until an action occurs. For example, to open a menu
for customizing the Home screen, you touch an empty area on the Home screen until the menu opens.
Touch & hold an item for a moment and then, without lifting your
nger, move your nger on the screen until you reach the target
position. You can drag items on the Home screen to reposition
them, and drag to open the Notications panel.
To swipe or slide, you quickly move your nger across the surface of the screen, without pausing when you rst touch it (so you don’t
drag an item instead). For example, you slide the screen up or down to scroll a list, and in some Calendar views you swipe quickly across the screen to change the range of time visible.

In some applications (such as Maps, Browser, and Gallery), you can
zoom in and out by placing two ngers on the screen at once and
pinching them together (to zoom out) or spreading them apart (to zoom in).
On most screens, the orientation of the screen rotates with the light as you turn it from upright to its side and back again. You can turn this feature on and off, as described in “Display settings”.

Connecting to Networks and Devices
Your light can connect to a variety of networks and devices, including mobile networks for voice and data transmission, Wi-Fi data networks, and Bluetooth devices, such as
headsets. You can also connect your light to a computer, to transfer les from your light,
and share your light’s mobile data connection via USB or as a portable Wi-Fi hotspot.
Connecting to Mobile Networks
When you assemble your light with a SIM card from your wireless service provider,
your light is congured to use your provider’s mobile networks for voice calls and for
transmitting data.
Your light is congured to work with many mobile carriers’ networks. If your light does
not connect to a network when you insert a SIM card and turn it on, contact your carrier to obtain the details of its access point name. Different locations may have different mobile networks available. Initially, your light is
congured to use the fastest mobile network available for data. But you can congure
your light to use only a slower 2G network for data, to extend the life of your battery
between charges. You can also congure your light to access a different set of networks
entirely, or to behave in special ways when roaming.
Determine What Network You’re Using
1. Press the Home Key, press the Menu Key, and touch Settings t o open the Settings application.
49
2. Touch Wireless & networks > Mobile networks > Access Point Names.
The name of the wireless service provider you’re currently registered with is selected in the list.
Disable Data When Roaming
You can prevent your light from transmitting data over other carriers’ mobile networks when you leave an area that is covered by your carrier’s networks. This is useful for controlling expenses if your cell plan doesn’t include data roaming.
1. Pres s the Home Key, press the Menu Key, and touch Settings to open the Settings application.
2. Touch Wireless & networks > Mobile networks and uncheck Data Roaming.
With Data roaming unchecked, you can still transmit data with a Wi-Fi connection.
Use Only 2G Networks
You can extend your battery life by limiting your data connections to 2G networks (GPRS or EDGE ). When you are conn ected to a 2 G networ k, you may w ant to postpone activities that transmit a lot of data, such as sending, uploading, or downloading pictures or video, until you are connected to a faster mobile or other wireless network.
1. Pres s the Home Key, press the Menu Key, and touch Settings to open the Settings application.
2. Touch Wireless & networks > Mobile networks > Network mode and select GSM only.
50
Edit or Create a New Access Point
If you and your wireless service provider determine that you need to change the settings of your current access point name (APN) or to create a new one, you must obtain the APN and detailed settings from your provider.
1. Pres s the Home Key, press the Menu Key, and touch Settings to open t he Settings application.
2. Touch Wireless & networks > Mobile networks > Access Point Names.
3. Touch an existing APN to edit it. Or press the Menu Key and touch New APN. Enter the APN settings that you obtained from your wireless service provider by touching each setting that you need to edit.
4. When you’re nished, press the Menu Key and touch Save.
5. If you created a new APN, touch it in the APNs screen to start using it.
Connecting to Wi-Fi Networks
Wi-Fi is a wireless networking technology that can provide Internet access at distances of up to 100 meters, depending on the Wi-Fi router and your surroundings. To use Wi-Fi on your light, you access a wireless access point, or “hotspot.” Some hotspots are open and you can simply connect to them. Others are hidden or implement
other security features, so you must congure your light so it can connect to them.
There are numero us systems for securing Wi-Fi conne ctions , including some that
rely on secure certicates or other schemes to ensure that only authorized users can
connect.
51
Turn off Wi -Fi when you’re not using it, to extend th e life of your battery b etween charges.
Turn Wi-Fi on and connect to a Wi-Fi Network
If you’re adding a Wi-Fi network when first setting up your light, Wi-Fi is turned on automatically, so you can skip to step 4.
1. Press the Home Key, press the Menu Key, and touch Settings t o open the Settings application.
2. Touch Wireless & networks > Wi-Fi Settings.
3. Check Wi-Fi to turn it on.
The light scans for available Wi-Fi networks and displays the names of those it
nds. Secured networks are indicated with a Lock icon. If the light nds a network
that you connected to previously, it connects to it.
4. Touch a network to connect to it.
If the network is open, you are prompted to conrm that you want to connect to that
network by touching Connect.
If the network is secured, you’re prompted to enter a password or other credentials.
(Ask your network administrator for details.)When you’re connected to a network, you can touch its name in the Wi-Fi settings screen for details about the speed, security, address, and related settings.
Receive Notications When Open Networks are Available

detects an open Wi-Fi network.
52
1. Turn on Wi-Fi, if it’s not already on.
2. In the Wi-Fi settings screen, check Network notification. You can uncheck this
option to stop receiving notications.
Add a Wi-Fi Network
You ca n add a Wi-Fi network so the light will remember it, along with any security credentials, and connect to it automatically when it is in range. You must also add a Wi­Fi network to connect to it, if the network does not broadcast its name (SSID), or to add a Wi-Fi network when you are out of range of it. To join a secured network, you need to contact the network’s administrator to learn what security scheme is deployed on it and to obtain the password or other required security credentials.
1. Turn on Wi-Fi, if it’s not already on. If you’re adding a Wi-Fi network when first setting up your light, Wi-Fi is turned on automatically.
2. In the Wi-Fi settings screen, touch Add Wi-Fi network (at the bottom of the list of discovered networks).
3. Enter the SSID (name) of the network. If the network is secured, touch the Security menu and then touch the type of security deployed on the network.
4. Enter any required security credentials.
5. Touch Save. The light connects to the wireless network. Any credentials that you entered are saved, so you are connected automatically the next time you come within range of this network.
53
Forget a Wi-Fi Network
You can make the light forget about the details of a Wi-Fi network that you added— for example, if you don’t want the light to connect to it automatically or if it is a network that you no longer use.
1. Turn on Wi-Fi, if it’s not already on.
2. On the Wi-Fi settings screen, touch & hold the name of the network.
3. Touch Forget network in the dialog that opens.
