designed for your phone. Using other accessories may invalidate your warranty and may cause
damage.

information and settings may become lost or changed, or the phone may become unusable.
Charge once every six months before storing or leaving unused for a long period.

Charge Using the AC Adapter (Charging Head)

Installing Applications

Software Update Cautions
During update: The phone cannot be used until the software update is complete. It may take
time to update your phone’s software.
Signal during update: Update your phone where signal reception is good, and do not change

An update failure may disable the phone.

Getting Started

Basic Operations

TTY Mode
A TTY (teletypewriter, also known as a TDD or Text Telephone) is a telecommunications device that
allows people who are deaf, hard of hearing, or who have speech or language disabilities, to
communicate by telephone.
Your phone is compatible with select TTY devices. Please check with the manufacturer of your TTY
device to ensure that it supports digital wireless transmission. Your phone and TTY device will
connect using a special cable that plugs into your phone’s headset jack. If this cable was not
provided with your TTY device, contact your TTY device manufacturer to purchase the connector
cable.
To turn TTY Mode on or off:
1. From home, tap Phone

> More options > Settings.

2. Tap More settings > TTY mode.
3. Tap TTY Full, TTY HCO, or TTY VCO to turn TTY mode on.

Note: When enabled, TTY mode may impair the audio quality of non-TTY devices connected to the
headset jack.
Warning: 9-1-1 Emergency Calling
It is recommended that TTY users make emergency calls by other means, including
Telecommunications Relay Services (TRS), analog cellular, and landline communications. Wireless
TTY calls to 9-1-1 may be corrupted when received by public safety answering points (PSAPs),
rendering some communications unintelligible. The problem encountered appears related to TTY
equipment or software used by PSAPs. This matter has been brought to the attention of the FCC,
and the wireless industry and the PSAP community are currently working to resolve this.

Before You Start Exercising
This app can be used to monitor your exercise. While moderate physical activity, such as brisk
walking, is safe for most people, health experts suggest that you talk with your doctor before you
start an exercise program, particularly if you have any of the following conditions:
n

Heart disease;

Asthma or lung disease;

Diabetes, or liver or kidney disease;

Arthritis.

You should also check with your doctor if you have symptoms suggestive of heart, lung, or other
serious disease, such as:
n

Pain or discomfort in your chest, neck, jaw, or arms during physical activity;

Dizziness or loss of consciousness;

Shortness of breath with mild exertion or at rest, or when lying down or going to bed;

Ankle swelling, especially at night;

A heart murmur or a rapid or pronounced heartbeat;

Muscle pain when walking upstairs or up a hill that goes away when you rest.

Finally, the American College of Sports Medicine recommends that you see your doctor before
engaging in vigorous exercise if two or more of the following apply:
n

You are a man older than age 45 or a woman older than age 55;

You have a family history of heart disease before age 55;

You smoke or quit smoking in the past six months;

When in Doubt – Check it Out
If you are unsure of your health status, have several health problems, or are pregnant, you should
speak with your doctor before starting a new exercise program. Working with your doctor ahead of
time is a good way to plan an exercise program that is right and safe for you. Consider it the first step
on your path to physical fitness.
