Earpiece Proximity Sensor

Front Camera Lens

Microphone

Microphone Charger/USB port

Headset Jack

NOTE: Proximity sensor

When receiving and making calls, the proximity sensor automatically turns

the backlight off and locks the touch screen by sensing when the phone is

near your ear. This extends battery life and prevents you from unintentionally

activating the touch screen during calls.

WARNING

Placing a heavy object on the phone or sitting on it can damage the display

and touch screen functions. Do not cover the proximity sensor with screen

protectors or any other type of protective film. This could cause the sensor to

malfunction.
