14 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. See the Getting started chapter for details.

Switching your phone off

1.If the display is off, press the POWER button to turn it back on, then unlock the screen by sliding down the bar on the lock screen.

See "Unlocking the screen" in the Getting started chapter for details.

2.Press and hold the POWER button for a few seconds.

3.When the Power options menu appears, tap Power off.

Entering your PIN

Your SIM card comes with a PIN (personal identification number) set by T-Mobile. If you’re asked for a PIN, enter it and then tap OK.

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 wrong PIN three times, your SIM card is blocked. No problem. Just contact T-Mobile and ask for the PUK (PIN Unblocking Key).

Finger gestures

Tap

When you want to type using the keyboard, select items onscreen such as

 

application and settings icons, or press onscreen buttons, simply tap them

 

with your finger.

 

 

Press and hold

To open the available options for an item (for example, a 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 apps, like Gallery or the web browser, you can “pinch” the screen

 

using two fingers (for example, thumb and index finger) to zoom in or

 

zoom out when viewing a picture or a web page.

 

 

Using the trackpad

Swipe your finger over to highlight items or press to select items onscreen.
