Starting the Device
To start your Cruz, press the on/off button located at the left side of the device. When you first turn on the Cruz, you will be greeted with a CRUZ logo, then an ANDROID logo, and then your Home screen.

To save battery, you should put your Cruz in sleep mode by turning off the LCD display. To do this, tap (not hold) the power button. Tap again to bring up the lock screen.

Power Down
To turn off your Cruz completely, press and hold the power button until the “Device options” dialog appears and tap “Power off.” You should then see a dialog box that reads: “Your device will shut down.” Tap “OK” and your device will proceed to shut down. When powered down, the device will not discharge the battery.
