Basics

Switching your phone on or off

Switching your phone on

Press the POWER button. Easy.

When you turn on the phone for the first time, you’ll need to set it up. Go to “Setting up your phone
for the first time” and we’ll take you through it.

Switching your phone off

If the display is off, press the POWER button to turn it back on.

Unlock your phone if the Lock screen is displayed. See “Unlocking the screen” in the
Getting started chapter.

Press and hold the POWER button until you see the word “Goodbye” onscreen.

Finger gestures

Tap

When you want to type using the keyboard, select items onscreen such as apps
and settings, or press onscreen buttons, simply tap them with your finger.

Press and hold

To open the available options for an item (e.g. contact or link in a web page),
simply press and hold the item.

Swipe or slide

To swipe or slide means to quickly drag your finger vertically or horizontally across
the screen.

Drag

Press and hold your finger with some pressure before you start to drag. While
dragging, do not release your finger until you have reached the target position.

Flick

Flicking the screen is similar to swiping, except that you need to swipe your finger
in light, quicker strokes. This finger gesture is always in a vertical direction, such as
when flicking the contacts or message list.

Rotate

For most screens, you can automatically change the screen orientation from
portrait to landscape by turning the phone sideways. When entering text, you can
turn the phone sideways to bring up a bigger keyboard.

Pinch

In some applications, like Pictures or the web browser, you can “pinch” the screen
using  fingers (for example, thumb and index fingers) to zoom in or zoom out
when viewing a picture or a web page.
