Touch screen tips

The home screen is a great place to get used to using the touch screen.

To select an item, touch the centre of the icon.

•Do not to press too hard; the touchscreen is sensitive enough to pick up on a light touch.

•Use the tip of your finger to touch the option you require. Be careful not to touch any other keys.

•When the screen light is off, press the power key to return to the home screen.

•Whenever your New Chocolate BL40 is not in use, it will return to the lock screen.

Proximity sensor

When receiving and making calls, this sensor automatically turns the backlighting off and locks the touch keypad by sensing objects when the phone is near the ear.

This makes the battery life last longer and prevents the touch keypad from malfunctioning through automatic key locking during calls.

Users, therefore, do not have the inconvenience of unlocking the phone when searching the phonebook during calls.
