The Basics

Performing a Hard Reset (Factory Reset)

If your phone does not restore to its original condition after an error or you
forgot your screen lock, perform a Hard Reset (Factory Reset) to initialize it.

WARNING

If you perform a Hard Reset, all user apps, user data, and DRM licenses will be

deleted. Please remember to backup any important data before performing a Hard

Reset.

1. Turn the phone off.

2. Press and hold the Power/Lock key

(on the right side of the phone)

and the Down Volume key

(on the left side of the phone) at the

same time.

3. When the Factory data reset screen appears, release both of the keys.

4. Use the Volume keys

to highlight Factory data reset, then press

the Power/Lock key

to confirm.

5. Use the Volume keys

to highlight Yes, then press the Power/

Lock key

to confirm one more time.

6. Your phone will perform a factory reset.

To unlock the phone

If you don’t use the phone for a while, the screen backlight will turn off to
conserve battery power. To wake up the phone and unlock the screen:

1. Turn the screen on.

 Press the Power/Lock key

on the right side of the phone.

2. The default Lock screen will appear.

 To unlock the screen, swipe your finger across the screen in any

direction.

 To use a Swipe Lock screen shortcut, swipe the shortcut icon (at the

bottom of the screen) in any direction. The screen will unlock and
launch the app.

NOTE

The default Lock screen simply locks the screen to prevent unintentional actions. For

more security to guard against unauthorized use, you can set an unlock requirement (such

as a pattern, PIN, or password) that will need to be entered to unlock it. Please refer to

Using a Screen Lock on page 11 for more information.

TIP

Swipe the left edge of the Lock screen to the right to add a widget to your Lock screen.
