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 10% 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 when you're not using. If you are not using Wi-Fi,
Bluetooth or GPS, turn them off.

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.

data and settings from the phone.
4. Using a screen lock
Set an unlock pattern to secure your and prevent unauthorized use. From the Home

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.
