reset).
2. Optimising battery life
You can extend your battery's life by
turning off features that you don't
need that run in the background. You
can also monitor how applications
and system resources use battery
power.
To extend the life of your battery:
Turn off radio communications
that aren't in use. Turn off Wi-Fi,
Bluetooth or GPS when not in use.
Turn down screen brightness and
set a shorter screen timeout.
Turn off automatic syncing for
Gmail, Calendar, Contacts and
other applications.

To check the battery charge level:
On the home screen, touch the
Applications tab and select

power. The body of the screen
lists the applications or services
using battery power, from highest
consumption to least.
3. Installing an open
source OS
If you install an open source OS on
your phone and do not use the OS
provided by the manufacturer, your
phone may malfunction.
WARNING
If you install and use an OS
other than the one provided by
the manufacturer, your phone
will not be covered by
the
warranty.
8
WARNING
To protect you
r phone and
personal data, only download
applications from trusted
sources such as Android
Market. If some applications
are incorrectly installed on your
phone, your phone may not
work properly, or serious errors
may occur. You will need to
remove these applications and
all their data and settings from
the phone.
4. Using unlock pattern

phone. This opens a set of screens

your unlock pattern, PIN or
password. Once you have used
all five chances, you can try

pattern, PIN or password:
If you have tried to log on to your
Google account on the phone and
failed to enter the correct pattern five
times, tap the Forgot pattern button.
You will then be required to sign in
with your Google account to unlock
your phone.

prompted to enter a password
or other credentials. (Ask your
network administrator for details.)
The status bar displays icons
indicating Wi-Fi status.

because open applications keep
running even when you open a
further application. You do not
need to quit an application before
opening another one. Use and
switch between several opened

each application, stopping and
starting it as needed, to ensure
idle applications don’t consume
3
4

Applications tab and select
Settings> Applications>
Manage applications.
Scroll to the chosen application
and touch Force Stop to close it.
