Note: What Happens if I Wipe the Touchscreen, But It’s Still Dirty?

Dampen a soft, lint-free cloth with an isopropyl alcohol and water solution of 50:50, and then wipe the screen with the cloth. Always use the dampened cloth to apply the solution; never apply the solution directly, which could seep inside the screen or stain the phone. In addition, do not use caustic chemicals to clean the touchscreen.

Registering the Phone

In most cases, your phone is deployed with multiple other phones and your system administrator configures the phone parameters, so that after you set up your phone, the phone is registered and ready to use.

When your phone is not part of a large phone deployment, your phone might not be registered after you set it up. Before you use your phone, you or your system administrator has to register it.
