Getting to know your phone

Before you start using the phone, please read this!

Please check to see whether any problems you encountered with your phone are described in this section before taking the phone in for service or calling a service representative.

1. Phone memory

When there is less than 10% of space available in your phone memory, your phone cannot receive new messages. You need to check your phone memory and delete some data, such as applications or messages, to make more memory available.

To uninstall applications:

1Touch > Apps tab > Settings > Apps from the DEVICE category.

2Once all applications appear, scroll to and select the application you want to uninstall.

3Touch Uninstall.

2. Optimising battery life

Extend your battery's life between charges by turning off features that you don't need to having running constantly in the background. You can monitor how applications and system resources consume battery power.

Extending your phone's battery life:

•Turn off radio communications you are not using. If you are not using Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or GPS, turn them off.

•Reduce screen brightness and set a shorter screen timeout.

•Turn off automatic syncing for Google Mail™, Calendar, Contacts and other applications.
