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:
t Turn off radio communications when you're not using. If you are not using Wi-Fi,
Bluetooth or GPS, turn them off.
t Reduce screen brightness and set a shorter screen timeout.
t Turn off automatic syncing for Gmail, Calendar, Contacts and other applications.
t Some applications you have downloaded may reduce battery power.

To check the battery power level:
t 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:
t 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 an unlock pattern to secure your and prevent unauthorized use. From the Home
screen, tap > Apps tab (if necessary) > Settings > Lock screen > Select
screen lock > Pattern. This opens a screen that will guide you through how to draw a
screen lock pattern. You will 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.
WARNING
Precautions to take when using a pattern lock.
It is very important to remember the pattern lock you set. You will not be able
to access your phone if you use an incorrect pattern 5 times. You have 5
opportunities to enter your pattern lock, PIN or password. If you have used all
5 opportunities, you can try again after 30 seconds.
When you can't recall your unlock Pattern, PIN or Password:
< If you have forgotten your pattern >
If you logged in to your Google account on the phone but failed to enter the correct
pattern 5 times, tap the Forgot pattern? button at the bottom of the screen. You are
then required to log in with your Google Account or enter the Backup PIN you created.
If you have not logged into a Google account on the phone or you forgot your Backup
PIN, you have to perform a hard reset.
< If you have forgotten your PIN or Password >
If you forget your PIN or Password, you will need to perform a hard reset.
Caution: If you perform a hard reset, all user applications and user data will be
deleted.
NOTE: If you have not logged into your Google Account and have forgotten
your Unlock Pattern, you will need to enter your Backup PIN.

5. Using the Hard Reset (Factory reset)
If your phone does not restore to its original condition after an error or you forgot your
screen lock, use a Hard Reset (Factory Reset) to initialize it.
1 Turn the power off.
2 Press and hold the Power/Lock Key + Volume Down Key .
3 When the Factory Hard Reset welcome screen appears, release all of the keys.
4 Press the Power/Lock Key to continue or any other key to cancel.
5 Press the Power/Lock Key once more to confirm or any other key to cancel.
6 Your phone will perform a factory reset.
WARNING
If you perform a Hard Reset, all user applications, user data and DRM
licenses will be deleted. Please remember to backup any important data
before performing a Hard Reset.
6. 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.
