ENVIRONMENT RESTRICTIONS
Do not use this product in gas stations, fuel depots, chemical plants or where blasting operations are in
progress, or in potentially explosive atmospheres such as fuelling areas, fuel storehouses, below deck
on boats, chemical plants, fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities, and areas where the air contains
chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust, or metal powders. Please be aware that sparks in such areas could
cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death.
EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERES
When in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere or where flammable materials exist, the product
should be turned off and the user should obey all signs and instructions. Sparks in such areas could cause
an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death. Users are advised not to use the equipment at
refueling points such as service or gas stations, and are reminded of the need to observe restrictions on the
use of radio equipment in fuel depots, chemical plants, or where blasting operations are in progress. Areas
with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not always, clearly marked. These include fueling areas,
below deck on boats, fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities, and areas where the air contains chemicals
or particles, such as grain, dust, or metal powders.
ROAD SAFETY
Vehicle drivers in motion are not permitted to use telephony services with handheld devices, except in the
case of emergency. In some countries, using hands-free devices as an alternative is allowed.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR RF EXPOSURE
Avoid using your phone near metal structures (for example, the steel frame of a building).
Avoid using your phone near strong electromagnetic sources, such as microwave ovens, sound
speakers, TV and radio.
Use only original manufacturer-approved accessories, or accessories that do not contain any metal.
Use of non-original manufacturer-approved accessories may violate your local RF exposure guidelines
and should be avoided.
INTERFERENCE WITH MEDICAL EQUIPMENT FUNCTIONS
This product may cause medical equipment to malfunction. The use of this device is forbidden in most
hospitals and medical clinics.
If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer of your device to determine if they
are adequately shielded from external RF energy. Your physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this
information.
Turn your phone OFF in health care facilities when any regulations posted in these areas instruct you to do so.
Hospitals or health care facilities may be using equipment that could be sensitive to external RF energy.
HEARING AIDS
Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some hearing aids. In the event of such interference, you may
want to consult your service provider, or call the customer service line to discuss alternatives.
NONIONIZING RADIATION
Your device has an internal antenna. This product should be operated in its normal-use position to ensure
the radiative performance and safety of the interference. As with other mobile radio transmitting equipment,
users are advised that for satisfactory operation of the equipment and for the safety of personnel, it is
recommended that no part of the human body be allowed to come too close to the antenna during operation
of the equipment.
Use only the supplied integral antenna. Use of unauthorized or modified antennas may impair call quality and
damage the phone, causing loss of performance and SAR levels exceeding the recommended limits as well as
result in non-compliance with local regulatory requirements in your country.

To assure optimal phone performance and ensure human exposure to RF energy is within the guidelines
set forth in the relevant standards, always use your device only in its normal-use position. Contact with the
antenna area may impair call quality and cause your device to operate at a higher power level than needed.
Avoiding contact with the antenna area when the phone is IN USE optimizes the antenna performance and
the battery life.

Battery
Your device comes with a rechargeable Lithium-ion or Lithium-ion polymer battery and is designed to use
only manufacturer-specified original batteries and accessories. Battery performance depends on many
factors, including network configuration, signal strength, the temperature of the environment in which you
operate your device, the features and/or settings you select and use, items attached to connecting ports, and
your voice, data, and other program usage patterns.
Battery life estimates (approximations):
Standby time: Up to 350 hours
Talk time: Up to 250 minutes
Note Battery life is subject to network and phone usage.
Warning! To reduce risk of fire or burns:

Charging is indicated by a “breathing” white light around the Navigation Control. As the battery is being
charged while the power is on, a charging icon ( ) also appears in the title bar of the Home screen.
After the battery has been fully charged, the Navigation Control LED shows a solid white light and a full
battery icon ( ) appears in the title bar of the Home screen.
For more information about the Navigation Control LED, see “LED Alerts” in this chapter.
Warning! • Do not remove the battery from the device while you are charging it using the AC or car adapter.
• As a safety precaution, the battery stops charging when it overheats.
1.4 Using the Strap Holder
The strap holder at the bottom panel of your device allows you to attach a wrist strap, neck lanyard, or string
accessory.

1.5 Starting Up
After installing and charging the battery, you can now power on and start using your device.
Turn your device on and off
To turn on the power
1. Press and hold the POWER button for a few seconds.
2. When you turn on your device for the first time, a Quick Start Wizard guides you to set up regional
settings, date and time, and password. For more information about these settings, see Chapter 13.
After the Quick Start Wizard finishes, the device installs customization settings, then restarts.
To turn off the power
1. Press and hold the POWER button for a few seconds.
2. Tap Yes when a message prompts you to choose whether or not to turn off the device completely.
Switch to Sleep mode when not in use
Press and immediately release the POWER button to turn off the display temporarily and switch your device
to Sleep mode. Sleep mode suspends your device to a low power state while the display is off in order to save
battery power.
Your device automatically goes into Sleep mode when you leave the device idle after a certain period of time.
You will still be able to receive messages and calls while your device is in Sleep mode. Pressing the POWER
button again or incoming calls/messages will wake up your device.
1.6 Navigating Your Device
There are different ways you can navigate and interact with the interface of your device.
Finger-touch control
A quick and easy way to interact with the home screen and the whole interface of your device is by touch.
Basically, the following are the types of actions, called finger gestures, you would do when interacting with
your device:
Touch or tap
When selecting items on the screen, such as the Home screen tabs, Start menu, programs and settings icons,
and large on-screen buttons, simply touch them with your finger. Apply some pressure with your finger pad
when touching an item on the screen.
Tapping means to touch lightly and quickly with your finger pad or fingertip. On screens that display smaller-
size items, you can more accurately select an item by tapping it with your fingertip.
Swipe
To swipe means to drag your finger vertically or horizontally across the screen. The following are some
instances when you would use swiping:
Flipping on the Home screen
Swipe your finger vertically to flip through favorite contacts, messages, music albums, photos, and
more. For more information, see“Using the TouchFLO 3D Home Screen”in Chapter 3.
Scrolling
When browsing the contacts list, web pages, documents, and certain selection lists on the Home screen
(such as the All Programs list), slowly swipe your finger vertically across the screen to scroll. This allows
you to scroll by page and to view the content or available selections as you scroll.
The direction of swiping resembles the way you move a printed document as you are reading it. For
detailed instructions, see “Finger scrolling” in Chapter 3.

Slide
Sliding on the touch screen also involves dragging with your finger, but you need to press and hold your
finger with some pressure before you start to drag. While dragging, do not release your finger until you have
reached the target position.
The following are some instances when you would use sliding:
Switching between Home screen tabs
Slide your finger left and right to switch between the Home screen tabs. For more information, see
“Using the TouchFLO 3D Home screen“ in Chapter 3.
Advancing playback
In players that have a progress bar, such as the Home screen’s Music tab and Windows Media® Player
Mobile, slide your finger horizontally on their progress bar to advance forward or move backward in the
music or video you are playing.
For more information about the Home screen’s Music tab, see “Music” in Chapter 3.
For more information about Windows Media® Player Mobile, see “Using Windows Media® Player Mobile”in
Chapter 11.
Flick
Flicking the screen is similar to swiping, except that you need to swipe your finger in light, quicker strokes.
This finger gesture is always in a vertical direction, such as when flicking the contacts list. See “Finger scrolling”
in Chapter 3 for details.
Finger zooming and panning
In programs such as Album and Opera Mobile, you can use finger gestures when zooming and panning. See
Chapter 3, 8 and 11 for details.
Stylus
You can use the stylus to navigate and interact with the touch
screen. To use the stylus, pull it out from the stylus compartment
at the bottom of the right panel of your device. If the backlight
is off, removing the stylus automatically turns the backlight back
on.
The stylus is magnetic and sticks to the side when held close
to the device. This prevents you from accidentally losing or
misplacing the stylus.
Basically, you tap with the stylus to open programs and select items on the screen, and you tap and hold on
the screen to open a shortcut menu. You can also use the stylus the same way as what you do with finger
gestures, such as swiping, sliding and flicking on the screen.
Navigation Control
On the home screen and in many programs on your device, you can use the Navigation Control for directional
control. Press the directional arrows to navigate up, down, left, and right on the screen. When an item has
been selected on the screen, press the ENTER button (the center button) to confirm your selection.
The Navigation Control is also touch sensitive and can be used for zooming. Slide your finger clockwise
around the Navigation Control to zoom in, counterclockwise to zoom out.
