Turn your device on and off

To turn on the power

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

2.When you turn on your device for the first time, a Quick Start Wizard guides you to set up regional settings, date and time, and password. For more information about these settings, see Chapter 13.   After the Quick Start Wizard finishes, the device installs customization settings, then restarts.

2.Tap Yes when a message prompts you to choose whether or not to turn off the device completely.

Switch to Sleep mode when not in use

Press and immediately release the POWER button to turn off the display temporarily and switch your device to Sleep mode. Sleep mode suspends your device to a low power state while the display is off in order to save battery power.

Your device automatically goes into Sleep mode when you leave the device idle after a certain period of time. You will still be able to receive messages and calls while your device is in Sleep mode. Pressing the POWER button again or incoming calls/messages will wake up your device.

1.6 Navigating Your Device

There are different ways you can navigate and interact with the interface of your device.

Finger-touch control

A quick and easy way to interact with the home screen and the whole interface of your device is by touch. Basically, the following are the types of actions, called finger gestures, you would do when interacting with your device:

Touch or tap

When selecting items on the screen, such as the Home screen tabs, Start menu, programs and settings icons, and large on-screen buttons, simply touch them with your finger. Apply some pressure with your finger pad when touching an item on the screen.

Tapping means to touch lightly and quickly with your finger pad or fingertip. On screens that display smaller- size items, you can more accurately select an item by tapping it with your fingertip.

Swipe

To swipe means to drag your finger vertically or horizontally across the screen. The following are some instances when you would use swiping:

•Flipping on the Home screen

Swipe your finger vertically to flip through favorite contacts, messages, music albums, photos, and more. For more information, see “Using the TouchFLO 3D Home Screen” in Chapter 3.

•Scrolling

When browsing the contacts list, web pages, documents, and certain selection lists on the Home screen (such as the All Programs list), slowly swipe your finger vertically across the screen to scroll. This allows you to scroll by page and to view the content or available selections as you scroll.

The direction of swiping resembles the way you move a printed document as you are reading it. For detailed instructions, see “Finger scrolling” in Chapter 3.
