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 Touch > Apps tab > Settings > Apps from the DEVICE.
2 Once all applications appear, scroll to and select the application you want to
uninstall.
3 Touch Uninstall.
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.
• Reduce screen brightness and set a shorter screen timeout.
• Turn off automatic syncing for Gmail, Calendar, Contacts and other applications.
• Some applications you have downloaded may reduce battery power.
Important notice

pattern 5 times, press the Forgot pattern? button at the bottom of the screen. You are
then required to log in with your Google Account or you have to enter the Backup PIN
which you entered when creating your Pattern Lock.

Drag – Touch and hold an item for a moment and then, without lifting your finger, move
your finger on the screen until you reach the target position. You can drag items on the
