Extending the Battery Life
Active applications, screen brightness levels, Wi-Fi usage and GPS
functionality and other certain features can all 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 auto-sync, portable hotspot, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth 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.
Restarting the Phone
If the screen freezes or takes too long to respond, try pressing and
holding the Power Key for about 8 seconds to restart the phone.
Setting Up for the First Time

27
Page 30
u
Touch Face Unlock to let the phone capture your face. You can
unlock the screen by looking at the front camera. You also need
to set a pattern or PIN in case the phone cannot recognize your
face.
u
If you touch Pattern, you’re guided to create a pattern you must
draw to unlock the screen. The rst time you do this, a short
tutorial about creating an unlock pattern appears. Then you’re
prompted to draw and redraw your own pattern.
u
If you touch PIN or Password, you’re prompted to set a numeric
PIN or a password you must enter to unlock your screen.
IMPORTANT: Screen lock options are listed in the approximate order of
the strength of their security, starting with None and Long press, which
provide no security. A pattern provides minimal security, although it can
be more convenient than the stronger options.
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.
28
Page 31
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:
1. Set a lock screen PIN or password.
2. Charge the battery.
3. Keep the phone connected to the charger.
4. 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:
5. Touch the Home Key > Menu Key > System settings > Security >
Encrypt phone.
6. 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.
29
Page 32
WARNING! If you interrupt the encryption process, you will lose data.
7. Touch Encrypt phone.
8. Enter your lock screen PIN or password and touch Next.
9. Touch Encrypt phone again.
The encryption process starts and displays its progress. 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.
