Additional settings menu, the device automatically redials up to 10 times when the person does not
answer the call or is already on the phone, provided your call is not sent to voicemail.
Note: If your screen goes black during your interaction with the device (launching Keypad, etc.), you might be
accidentally swiping over the front sensors.
Quick Dialing a Number from the Contacts List

2. Locate a contact from the list and in a single motion, touch and drag your finger over the number by going
to the right. This action places a call to the recipient.
Running a Call in the Background
If you exit the current call screen and return to the Home screen, you are visually notified that you are still on
an active call by the phone icon within the Status bar.
This is the best way to stay on your current call and do something else (multi-task) such as access the
Contacts list, view a recent email, locate a picture, etc.
