10 BasicsBasics
Battery
Your phone uses a rechargeable battery. Please use only original batteries and accessories
that came with your phone or replacements that we recommend.
How long the battery can last before it needs recharging depends on how you use your
phone. Among these are the phone features and accessories you use (for example, leaving
your Bluetooth connection always on uses more power). Long phone calls and frequent web
browsing use up much battery power. Also, consider your location: poor signal strength from
your mobile network and extreme temperature make the battery work harder.
Inserting the battery
Remove the back cover. See “Removing the back cover.”
Insert the battery with its exposed copper contacts into the phone first—make sure
that the ribbon strip extends out of the battery case to make it easy to remove the
battery!
The exposed copper contacts should be on the left when you insert the battery.
Gently push the battery into place.
Removing the battery
Make sure the phone is turned off.
Take the back cover off. See “Removing the back cover.”
Pull the ribbon strip upward to release the battery.

11 BasicsBasics
Charging the battery
The battery is partially charged when shipped. Before you turn on and start using your
phone, it is recommended that you charge the battery. Some batteries perform best after
several full charge/discharge cycles.
To charge the battery, please use only the power adapter and USB cable that come with your phone.
Don’t remove the battery from the phone while you’re charging it with the power or car adapter.
Connect the large end of the USB cable to the power adapter.
Connect the small end of the USB cable to the phone.
Plug in the power adapter to an electrical outlet to start charging the battery.
Your phone may turn on when the battery is being charged.
As the battery is being charged, the notification LED shows a solid red light when the
battery is being charged. The light turns to solid green when the phone is fully charged.
When you charge the battery while the phone is on, the charging battery icon is
displayed in the status bar of the Start screen. After the battery has been fully charged, a full
battery icon will be displayed in the status bar of the Start screen.
As a safety precaution, the battery stops charging when it overheats.
Switching your phone on or off
Switching your phone on
Press the POWER button. Easy.
When you turn on the phone for the first time, you’ll need to set it up. Go to “Setting up your phone
for the first time” and we’ll take you through it.
Switching your phone off
If the display is off, press the POWER button to turn it back on.
Unlock your phone if the Lock screen is displayed. See “Unlocking the screen” in the

12 BasicsBasics
Entering your PIN
Most SIM cards come with a PIN (personal identification number) set by your mobile
operator. If you’re asked for a PIN, enter it and then tap enter.
To find out how to enable, disable, or change the PIN, see “Protecting your SIM card with a
PIN” in the Security chapter.
If you enter the PIN wrong three times, your SIM card is blocked. No problem. Just contact your
mobile operator and ask for the PUK (PIN Unblocking Key).
Finger gestures
Tap When you want to type using the keyboard, select items onscreen such as apps
and settings, or press onscreen buttons, simply tap them with your finger.
Press and hold To open the available options for an item (e.g. contact or link in a web page),
simply press and hold the item.
Swipe or slide To swipe or slide means to quickly drag your finger vertically or horizontally across
the screen.
Drag 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.
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 or message list.
Rotate For most screens, you can automatically change the screen orientation from
portrait to landscape by turning the phone sideways. When entering text, you can
turn the phone sideways to bring up a bigger keyboard.
Pinch In some applications, like Pictures or the web browser, you can “pinch” the screen
using 2 fingers (for example, thumb and index fingers) to zoom in or zoom out
when viewing a picture or a web page.
Using the kickstand
Want to sit back and watch a movie, or have a conference call without having to hold your
phone? No problem! Just pull the kickstand out and set the phone on a flat surface, and
you’re ready to go.

Start screen
Up front on the Start screen, you get to see at a glance Windows® Phone live tiles that
continuously update and show what’s most personal to you. You’ll see things like your photo
album, XBOX LIVE, how many new messages and email you have, and more.

Performing a factory reset (hard reset)
If you’re passing your phone on to someone else or your phone has a persistent problem
that cannot be solved, you can do a factory reset (also called a hard reset). This returns your
phone to the state it was in before the first time you turned it on.
Factory reset is not a step to be taken lightly. It will permanently delete all your data and
customized settings, and will also remove any apps you’ve downloaded and installed. Be
sure to back up any data and files you want to keep before you do a factory reset.

On the Start screen, tap .
Tap Settings > about phone.

factory reset by using the buttons on the phone.
With the phone turned off, press and hold the VOLUME UP and DOWN buttons, and
then briefly press the POWER button.
Wait for the screen to show the instructions on how to do the factory reset, and then
release the VOLUME UP and DOWN buttons.
Follow the instructions onscreen to factory reset your phone.
