Android basics 40AUG-1.6.0-003 Android User’s GuideUsing the touchscreenThe way to control Android features is by using your finger to directly manipulate icons, buttons, menu items, the onscreen keyboard, and other items on the touchscreen. You can also change the screen’s orientation.Touch When you want to act on items on the screen, such as application and settings icons, and when you want to type letters and symbols using the onscreen keyboard, or press onscreen buttons, you simply touch them with your finger.Touch & hold You touch & hold an item on screen by touching it and not lifting your finger until an action occurs. For example, to open a menu for customizing the Home screen, you touch an empty area on the Home screen until the menu opens; then you lift your finger.Drag Touch & hold an item for a moment and then without lifting your finger, move your finger on the screen. Lift your finger when you reach the target position. You drag items on the Home screen to reposition them (as described in “Customizing the Home screen” on page 60 and you drag to open the Notifications panel (as described in “Managing notifications” on page 54). Swipe or slide To swipe or slide means to quickly move your finger across the surface of the screen, without pausing when you first touch it (so you don’t drag an item instead). For example, you slide the screen up or down to scroll a list; you more quickly swipe across the screen to change the range of time visible in some Calendar views.Double-tap You double-tap, for example, by touching a section of a webpage twice quickly in Browser, so the webpage zooms in and wraps the text in that section to fit the width of the screen.Rotate the screen On most screens, the orientation of the screen rotates with the phone as you turn it from upright to sideways, and back again. (You can turn this feature on or off as described in “Sound & display settings” on page 247.)

Gmail 100AUG-1.6.0-003 Android User’s GuideGmail is differentGmail is web-based Your messages are stored on Google servers, but you read, write, and organize messages using the Gmail application on your phone or using a web browser on a computer. Because your mail is stored on Google servers, you can also search your entire message history, backed by the speed and power of Google search.Actions you take in one place are reflected everywhere: for example, if you read a message in Gmail on your phone, it’s marked as read in a web browser; a message you send using a web browser, or even a draft of a message, is visible in Gmail on the phone.Gmail is conversation-based Each message and all replies to it are grouped in your Inbox as a single conversation. In other email applications, replies to messages are sprinkled across your inbox, typically by date received, so a message and the replies to it are separated by other messages. In this way Gmail makes is easier to follow the “thread” of a conversation.Gmail is organized by labels, not folders By tagging messages with labels, you can organize your conversations in as many ways as you want. In other email applications, each message can live only in one folder. For example, with Gmail you can label a conversation with your mother about your brother’s birthday present with both “Mom” and “Dave.” Later, you can look for the message under either label. Using folders, you’d have to store the message in the “Mom” folder or the “Dave” folder, not both.Gmail for the phone is optimized for mobile: use the web to organize Gmail The best place to organize and learn about Gmail is the web. For example, you can’t use the Gmail application on the phone to create the labels and filters you use to organize your messages, but you can label a message. Gmail on the web also offers a host of information about the service, so it’s the best place to learn about all of the features of Gmail.Gmail is for Gmail Of course you can use Gmail to send email to any email address and anyone can send email to you at your Gmail address, but if you want to read messages from another email service provider (using your AOL, Yahoo!, or other email account), use the Email application (see “Email” on page 147).

These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one of the following measures:• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio or television technician for help.FCC Caution: Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate this equipment.This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.

Appendix 267AUG-1.6.0-003 Android User’s GuideIMPORTANT NOTERadiation Exposure Statement:This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. End users must follow the specific operating instructions for satisfying RF exposure compliance. To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure compliance requirements, please follow operation instruction as documented in this manual.This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter, except the transmitters built-in with the device.FCC Hearing-Aid Compatibility (HAC) Regulations for Wireless DevicesOn July 10, 2003, the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Report and Order in WT Docket 01- 309 modified the exception of wireless phones under the Hearing Aid Compatibility Act of 1988 (HAC Act) to require digital wireless phones be compatible with hearing-aids. The intent of the HAC Act is to ensure reasonable access to telecommunications services for persons with hearing disabilities. While some wireless phones are used near some hearing devices (hearing aids and cochlear implants), users may detect a buzzing, humming, or whining noise. Some hearing devices are more immune than others to this interference noise, and phones also vary in the amount of interference they generate. The wireless telephone industry has developed a rating system for wireless phones, to assist hearing device users find phones that may be compatible with their hearing devices. Not all phones have been rated. Phones that are rated have the rating on their box or a label located on the box. The ratings are not guarantees. Results will vary depending on the user’s hearing device and hearing loss. If your hearing device happens to be vulnerable to interference, you may not be able to use a rated phone successfully. Trying out the phone with your hearing device is the best way to evaluate it for your personal needs.M-Ratings: Phones rated M3 or M4 meet FCC requirements and are likely to generate less interference to hearing devices than phones that are not rated. M4 is the better/higher of the two ratings. PB00100 is rated M3.T-Ratings: Phones rated T3 or T4 meet FCC requirements and are likely to be more usable with a hearing aid’s telecoil than phones that are not rated. T4 is the better/higher of the two ratings. PB00100 is rated T3.Please power off the Bluetooth function while using hearing aid devices with your PB00100.

Appendix 268AUG-1.6.0-003 Android User’s GuideHearing devices may also be rated. Your hearing device manufacturer or hearing health professional may help you find this rating. Higher ratings mean that the hearing device is relatively immune to interference noise. The hearing aid and wireless phone rating values are then added together. A sum of 5 is considered acceptable for normal use. A sum of 6 is considered for better use. A sum of 8 is considered for best use. In the above example, if a hearing aid meets the M2 level rating and the wireless phone meets the M3 level rating, the sum of the two values equal M5. This should provide the hearing aid user with “normal usage” while using their hearing aid with the particular wireless phone. “Normal usage” in this context is defined as a signal quality that is acceptable for normal operation.This methodology applies equally for T ratings. The M mark is intended to be synonymous with the U mark. The T mark is intended to be synonymous with the UT mark. The M and T marks are recommended by the Alliance for Telecommunications Industries Solutions (ATIS). The U and UT marks are referenced in Section 20.19 of the FCC Rules. The HAC rating and measurement procedure are described in the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) C63.19 standard.
