12 Basics

Entering your PIN

Most SIM cards come with a PIN (personal identification number) set by your mobile operator. If you’re asked for a PIN, enter it and then tap enter.

To find out how to enable, disable, or change the PIN, see “Protecting your SIM card with a PIN” in the Security chapter.

If you enter the PIN wrong three times, your SIM card is blocked. No problem. Just contact your mobile operator and ask for the PUK (PIN Unblocking Key).

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 2 fingers (for example, thumb and index fingers) to zoom in or zoom out
	when viewing a picture or a web page.

Using the kickstand

Want to sit back and watch a movie, or have a conference call without having to hold your phone? No problem! Just pull the kickstand out and set the phone on a flat surface, and you’re ready to go.
