Waking your smartphone

If the screen is off and the smartphone does not react to any taps on the screen,
then it has been locked and is in sleep mode.
To wake your smartphone, press the power button.
Your smartphone will display the widgets screen. Tap
and drag starting from the bottom left corner to peel
the screen and unlock the smartphone.
For additional security, you may set an unlock pattern,
a set of dots that must be tapped in the correct order
to access the phone. Open the application menu and
tap Settings > Location & security > Set up screen lock.



Note: If you forget your unlock pattern, please refer to “Unlock pattern“ on page 53.

Unlocking your smartphone

At the bottom left of the screen is the Page peel. Unlock your smartphone by
dragging the peel up and right.

Using the touchscreen

Your smartphone uses a touchscreen for selecting items and entering
information. Use your finger to tap the screen.
Tap: Touch the screen once to open items and select options.
Drag: Hold your finger on the screen and drag across the screen to select text
and images.
Tap and hold: Tap and hold an item to see a list of actions available for that
item. On the pop-up menu that appears, tap the action you want to perform.

The onscreen keyboard

When you tap a text box to enter text, an onscreen keyboard will appear.
