II. About Android
Introducing Android: The world's most
powerful mobile platform
There's no other software quite like
Android. Google engineered Android,
and Google’s own apps run best on it.
And with millions of apps, games,
songs, and videos on Google Play,
Android is great for fun, and for getting things done.
Android devices come in all kinds of sizes, with all sorts of
features, and at all sorts of prices. With Android, you’re in
control of your mobile experience.
Your stuff, always available, no wires needed
When you sign in to your phone or tablet with Google,
you can access all of your Google stuff (contacts, photos,
Gmail and more) quickly and easily. You can also enjoy all
of your favorite entertainment across your Android
devices and even your computer — no wires, no syncing.
Play everywhere you go
Google Play is the easiest way to enjoy all your favorites:
more than 700,000 apps and games, millions of songs,
thousands of movies and TV shows, the world's largest

6
collection of eBooks, and a growing selection of
magazines. With Google Play, there's no wires, no hassle,
just pure entertainment. You can now read, listen and
watch anywhere you want—on your tablet, phone, or in
any browser at play.google.com.
Powerful, simple, and beautiful
Millions of people use Android because it’s so powerful
yet still so easy. The home screen, apps, and widgets are
simple to use right out of the box, but completely
customizable. With Android, you can create a unique
mobile experience that’s just right for you.
Widgets
Put the important stuff right within reach and interact
with your favorite apps directly from your home screen
with widgets — see the latest sport scores, view your
favorite photos, check the weather or peek at your inbox
all without having to open different apps or leave the
home screen.
Notifications
An easy-to-read notification tray gives you quick access to
your calls, incoming texts, and new emails in a non-
intrusive way.

7
Multi-tasking
With Android, you can quickly and seamlessly switch
between apps and pick up whatever you were doing.
Juggling multiple tasks at once on a mobile device has
never been easier.
Voice typing and actions
Control your Android device with your voice. Simply
touch the microphone on the keyboard and start talking
to write emails, SMS, or any other text — more than 30
languages supported. Text appears in real time, so there’s
no waiting.
Photos and videos
Capture special moments with great photos and videos,
explore your shots and quickly share your favorites in any
way that you want.
What’s New With 4.2 ‘Jelly Bean’?
Share what’s on your device on the big
screen
*Android 4.2 allows devices to enable
wireless display. You can share movies,
YouTube videos, and anything that’s on
your screen on an HDTV. Just connect a

8
wireless display adapter to any HDMI-enabled TV to
mirror what’s on your screen quickly and easily.
Daydream
*Daydream lets your Android device display useful and
delightful information when idle or docked. Show off
your photo albums, get the latest news from Google
Currents, and more.
Expandable, actionable notifications
*Android has always put you in control when it comes to
staying notified and connected. Just swipe down from the
top of the screen to see all your notifications in one place.
Late for a meeting or missed a call? Take action in an
instant directly from the notifications shade.
Widgets work like magic
*With Jelly Bean it's now even easier to personalize your
home screen. As you place widgets on the screen,
everything else automatically moves to make room. When
they're too big, widgets resize on their own. Interacting
with your favorite apps and customizing your home
screen has never been easier.
Improved dictionaries
*Android's dictionaries are now more accurate and
relevant. With improved speech-to-text capabilities, voice
typing on Android is even better. It works even when you

9
don't have a data connection, so you can type with your
voice everywhere you go.
Magnification
*Zoom in on your screen by triple tapping on the touch
panel. While on magnification mode, you can pan by
dragging two fingers across the screen and adjust zoom
levels by pinching your fingers. This feature works
everywhere except on the keyboard and on the
navigation bar.
Talkback
*Provides spoken feedback to help blind and low vision
users. Talkback describes what to touch, select, and
deactivate.
Full Screen Viewfinder
*Use the entire screen as a widescreen viewfinder when
using the camera. (Note: may reduce maximum
resolution).
III. Battery Information
Charging Your Battery
The Starmobile ENGAGE 7+ needs to be fully charged for
first use.
1. Make sure the unit is turned off.

10
2. Plug one end of the charger into charging port then
plug the other end into a standard AC power outlet.
3. Once connected, the battery icon will flash repeatedly
on the screen
4. If the device is charging while powered off, a battery
indicator will also appear on the screen.
5. If the device has been depleted of battery life, it will
take a while before a charging indicator appears on
screen after it has been plugged to a power source.
6. When charging is complete, disconnect the charger
from both the electrical outlet and the device.
7.When the battery level icon has stopped flashing, this
means that the battery is fully charged. It is normal for the
device and charger to become warm during charging.
ATTENTION
*Charging must be performed in well-ventilated areas
with temperatures ranging between -10 degrees Celsius
and +45 degrees Celsius.
*Use only the supplied Starmobile battery and charger.
*Using accessories of other manufacturers or vendors
may invalidate any approval or warranty applicable to the
device. It may result in non-operation of the device or loss
of information.
*Do not attempt to remove the battery. Doing so may
cause damage to you and/or your unit.
*If the device shuts down automatically or indicates
“Battery is Low”, charge the battery.

11
*If the battery has not been entirely used up before
recharging, the charging time may decrease.
Optimizing Battery Performance
You can extend your battery's life between charges by
turning off features that are not in use. You can also
monitor how apps and system resources consume battery
power.
To adjust the settings described here, first touch the
Settings icon on the Home or All Apps screen.
Extending Battery Life
1. If Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or GPS are not in use, disable or
deactivate the function. The GPS setting is located in
Settings > Personal > Location services.
2. Don't leave the Maps or Navigation apps open on the
screen when not in use. They use GPS (and thus more
power) only when they're running. Turn down screen
brightness and set a shorter Sleep timeout: Settings >
Device > Display.
3. If you don't need it, turn off automatic syncing for all
apps: Settings > Personal > Accounts & sync. Note that
this means you need to sync manually to collect
messages, email, and other recent information, and won't
receive notifications when updates occur.
4. If a mobile or Wi-Fi network is inaccessible, switch to
Airplane mode. Press and hold the power switch until the
Phone options dialog appears. Select Airplane Mode.
