Important notice
Please read this before you start using your phone!
Please check to see whether any problems you encountered with your phone are
described in this section before taking the phone in for service or calling a service
representative.
1. Phone memory
When there is less than 10MB of space available in your phone memory, your phone
cannot receive new messages. You need to check your phone memory and delete
some data, such as applications or messages, to make more memory available.
To uninstall applications:
1 From the Home screen, tap > Apps tab (if necessary) > Settings >
Apps.
2 Once all applications appear, scroll to and select the application you want to
uninstall.
3 Tap Uninstall, then tap OK to confirm.
2. Optimizing battery life
Extend your battery's life between charges by turning off features that you don't need
to have running constantly in the background. You can monitor how applications and
system resources consume battery power.
Extending your phone's battery life:
• Turn off radio communications that you're not using. If you are not using Wi-Fi,
Bluetooth or GPS, turn them off.

6
Important notice
• Reduce screen brightness and set a shorter screen timeout.
• Turn off automatic syncing for Gmail, Calendar, Contacts and other applications.
• Some applications you have downloaded may reduce battery power.
To check the battery power level:
• From the Home screen, tap > Apps tab (if necessary) > Settings >
About phone > Battery.
The battery status (charging or discharging) and battery level (percentage charged) is
displayed at the top of the screen.
To monitor and control how battery power is being used:
• From the Home screen, tap > Apps tab (if necessary) > Settings >
About phone > Battery > Battery use.
Battery usage time is displayed on the screen. It tells you how long it has been since
you last connected your phone to a power source or, if currently connected, how long
the phone was last running on battery power. The screen shows the applications or
services using battery power, listed in order from the greatest to smallest amount
used.

3. Before installing an open source application and
operating system (OS)
WARNING
If you install and use an OS other than the one provided by the
manufacturer it may cause your phone to malfunction. In addition, your
phone will no longer be covered by the warranty.
WARNING
To protect your phone and personal data, only download applications
from trusted sources, such as Play Store. If there are improperly installed
applications on your phone, the phone may not work normally or a serious
error may occur. You must uninstall those applications and all associated
data and settings from the phone.
4. Using a screen lock
Set a screen lock to secure your phone and prevent unauthorized use. From the
Home screen, tap > Apps tab (if necessary) > Settings > Lock screen
> Select screen lock > Knock Code, Pattern, PIN, or Password. You might be
prompted to create a Backup PIN as a safety measure in case you forget your screen
lock.
Caution: Create a Google account before setting a screen lock and remember
the Backup PIN you created when creating your screen lock.

8
Important notice
WARNING
Precautions to take when using a pattern lock.
It is very important to remember the screen lock you set. You will not be
able to access your phone if you use an incorrect screen lock 5 times. If
you have used all 5 opportunities, you can try again after 30 seconds.
5. Opening and switching applications
Multi-tasking is easy with Android because you can keep more than one application
running at the same time. There is no need to quit an application before opening
another one. Use and switch between several open applications. Android manages
each application, stopping and starting them as needed to ensure that idle
applications don't consume resources unnecessarily.
To stop applications:
1 From the Home screen, tap > Apps tab (if necessary) > Settings >
Apps > RUNNING.
2 Tap the desired application and tap Stop to stop it.

6. Transferring music, photos and videos using Media
sync (MTP)
1 Connect the phone to your PC using the USB cable provided with your phone.
2 A USB connection type list will appear on your phone screen. Tap the Media sync
(MTP) option.
3 Select the Open device to view files option on your PC. You can then view media
contents on your PC and transfer the files.
4 Copy the files from your PC to the drive folder or vice versa.
5 Drag the Status Bar down and tap USB connected > Charge phone.
6 Disconnect the USB cable from your phone.
7. Hold your phone upright
Hold your cell phone vertically, as you would a regular phone. Your phone has an
internal antenna. Be careful not to scratch or damage the back of the phone, as this
may affect performance.
When making/receiving calls or sending/receiving data, avoid holding the lower part
of the phone where the antenna is located. Doing so may affect call quality.
8. When the screen freezes
If the phone does not respond to user input or the screen freezes:
To turn the phone on, Remove the battery > Reinsert it > Press and hold the Power/
Lock Key.
