Set up & go

Note: This phone supports apps and services that use a

lot of data, so make sure your data plan meets your

needs. Contact your service provider for details.

When you turn on your new phone, you can create or

apps, use Gmail™, and much more:

Rugged

Your phone is designed to be tough and durable, helping

to protect it from life’s extremes. So whether your life

gets cold and wet, warm and humid, or dry and dusty,

your phone can handle it.

Of course, your phone isn’t indestructible, so remember:

• Always make sure that the battery and connector

covers are closed and secure.

• Avoid prolonged or extreme exposure to rugged

conditions.

And finally, the details. Your phone will resist damage

from exposure to these rugged conditions: high/low

temperatures, water, blowing rain, humidity, salt fog,

dust, shock, vibration, and low pressure (high altitude).

call, or when it is inactive. To change the sleep delay,

To download new apps from the Google Play™ Store,

touch > Play Store. Touch Search to find an

app, or touch Downloads to show or reinstall the apps

you downloaded. To download apps from websites, you

need to change your security settings: Touch Menu

> Settings > Applications > Unknown sources.

Tip: Choose your apps and updates carefully, from

trusted sites like Play Store, as some may impact

your phone’s performance—see “Choose carefully” on

page 7.

Note: When installing an app, make sure you read the

alerts that tell you what information the app will access.

If you don’t want the app to have access to this

information, cancel the installation.

To move or uninstall your apps, touch Menu >

Settings > Applications > Manage applications. Touch

an app in the list to show details and options.

On your computer, you can browse and manage apps for

all your devices powered by Android™ at

play.google.com.

Choose carefully

Apps are great. There's something for everyone. Play,

communicate, work, or have fun. But remember, choose

your apps carefully. Here are a few tips:

• To help prevent spyware, phishing, or viruses from

affecting your phone or privacy, use apps from trusted

sites, like Play Store.

• In the Google Play Store, check the apps’ ratings and

comments before installing.

• If you doubt the safety of an app, don't install it.

• Like all apps, downloaded apps will use up memory,

data, battery, and processing power—some more

than others. For example, a simple battery level

widget will use less than a streaming music player

app. After installing an app, if you're not happy with

how much memory, data, battery or processing

power it's using, uninstall it. You can always install it

again later.

8 Home screen & apps

• Just like web browsing, you may want to monitor

children’s access to apps to help prevent exposure to

inappropriate content.

• Certain apps may not provide completely accurate

information. Take care, especially when it comes to

personal health.

Manage & restore apps

To manage your apps, from the home screen touch

Menu > Settings > Applications > Manage

applications

Touch the app to open the details screen—from here

you can review, uninstall, and more.

previously installed apps are listed and available for
