Using Your Mini 3i Smartphone
Accessing and Using Other Applications
In addition to the applications that ship with your phone for communication, productivity, and entertainment, you can download applications from the online sources provided by your service carrier, or from other sources on the Internet.
Regardless of the applications you plan to use, there are a few short steps and tips that apply to all applications:
•To browse and select an application to use, you must access the Home screen. If your phone is in a sleep or hibernate mode with an active screensaver, tap and hold the moving circle, and drag it to the gray circle at the bottom of the screen.
•To open a program, tap an icon once.

•To move or delete an icon, press and hold the icon, and follow the instructions on the screen.
NOTE: Icons of certain applications may be locked in position by the service carrier.
•To add an application or shortcut, press and hold an empty space on the Home screen and follow the instructions that appear on the screen.
•To protect your applications, settings, and data, it is recommended that you back up the information regularly to a microSD card.
