Waking your smartphone

If the screen is off and the smartphone does not react to any
taps on the screen or front panel button, then it has been
locked and is in sleep mode.
Press the power button, or any of the home / search / back /
menu buttons to wake your smartphone. Your smartphone
will display the widgets screen. Unlock your smartphone by
dragging the peel up or to the right.
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. Tap Settings > Location & security > Set up screen
lock.

Note: If you forget your unlock pattern, please refer to “Unlock pattern“ on page 54.
