Finger gestures
A quick and easy way to interact with the Home screen and the whole interface
of your phone is by touch. Basically, the following are the types of actions, called
finger gestures, that you would do when interacting with your phone:
Touch
When you want to select items such as icons and options or press on-screen buttons,
simply touch them with your finger. Apply some pressure with your finger pad when
touching them on the screen.
Swipe or slide
To swipe or slide means to drag your finger vertically or horizontally across the
screen. The following are some instances when you would use swiping:
•
Getting around the extended Home screen
Swipe your finger horizontally across the screen to go to the left or right side
of the extended Home screen. For more information, see “Home Screen”in
this chapter.
•
Scrolling
To scroll up or down in a list or page on the screen, swipe or slide your finger
up or down on the screen. With repeated short, quick brushing gestures, you
can accelerate the scroll. Touch your finger on the screen to stop the scrolling.
Drag
Touch and hold your finger with some pressure before you start to drag. While
dragging, do not release your finger until you have reached the target position.

6.3 Using Bluetooth
Bluetooth is a short-range wireless communications technology that allows
Bluetooth devices to exchange information over a distance of about eight meters
without requiring a physical connection. The phone supports the following
Bluetooth profiles: Headset, Handsfree, AꢀDP, and AVRCP.
Bluetooth on your phone operates in three different modes:
•
•
•
On. Bluetooth is turned on. Your phone can detect other Bluetooth-enabled
devices, but not vice versa.
Discoverable. Bluetooth is turned on, and all other Bluetooth-enabled
devices can detect your phone.
Off. Bluetooth is turned off. In this mode, you can neither send nor receive
information using Bluetooth.
Notes
•
By default, Bluetooth is turned off. If you turn it on, and then turn off your
phone, Bluetooth also turns off. When you turn on your phone again, Bluetooth
automatically turns on.
•
Turn off Bluetooth when not in use to conserve battery power, or in places where
using a wireless device is prohibited, such as on board an aircraft and in hospitals.
To turn on Bluetooth and make the phone discoverable
1. Press HOME > MENU, and then touch Settings.
2. Touch Wireless controls, then select the Bluetooth check box to turn on
Bluetooth. When on, the Bluetooth ( ) icon appears in the status bar.
3. Touch Bluetooth settings, then select the Discoverable check box to make
the phone discoverable to other Bluetooth devices that are within range.
Important
Your phone will be discoverable for up to two minutes.
Getting Connected 1ꢀꢁ
To change the phone name
The phone name identifies your phone in a Bluetooth network.
1. Make sure that you have turned Bluetooth on.
2. On the Wireless controls screen, touch Bluetooth settings > Device name.
3. Enter the name for your phone in the dialog box, and then touch OK.
To pair and connect a Bluetooth hands-free headset or car kit
You can connect your phone to a Bluetooth stereo headset, a Bluetooth hands-free
headset, or a Bluetooth car kit phone, and use those devices to listen to music and
send and/or receive calls. Before you can use these devices, you must pair it first
with your phone.
1. Press HOME > MENU, and then touch Settings.
2. Touch Wireless controls > Bluetooth settings and then select the
Bluetooth check box. Your phone will start to scan for Bluetooth devices
within range and will display all detected devices below the Bluetooth
devices section.
Tips
•
•
If you do not find the device in the list, touch Scan for devices to scan again.
Make sure that the Bluetooth device that you want to pair with is set to
discoverable mode. Consult the Bluetooth device’s documentation to learn how to
set it to discoverable mode.
3. Touch the Bluetooth device in the list to start pairing.
Note For some Bluetooth devices, you need to enter a passcode to pair with the
Bluetooth device. You can try “0000”as the passcode. If that does not work,
consult the Bluetooth device’s documentation.
4. The pairing and connection status will appear below the device’s name in
the list. When the other Bluetooth device is connected to your phone, the
Bluetooth connected icon
will appear in the status bar. You can now start
using the stereo headset to listen to music or the hands-free headset or car
kit phone to make and/or receive phone calls.
1ꢀ4 Getting Connected
Indicates that
the device is a stereo
Bluetooth headset that
you can use to listen to
music.

Notes
•
•
Pairing between two Bluetooth devices is a one-time process. Once pairing is
created, the devices can recognize the partnership and exchange information
without entering a passcode again.
If you pair with a second headset while connected to the first, the first headset
will be disconnected. To switch connection back to the first headset, you must
manually select that headset again in the Bluetooth devices list.
To disconnect a Bluetooth stereo headset, hands-free headset, or car kit phone
1. Press HOME > MENU, and then touch Settings.
2. Touch Wireless controls > Bluetooth settings.
3. Navigate to the Bluetooth devices section, and then touch and hold the
connected Bluetooth device.

This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any
other antenna or transmitter.
•
This equipment complies with FCC RF radiation exposure limits set forth for
an uncontrolled environment.
Exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) Signals
Your phone contains a radio transmitter and receiver. The radiated output power
is far below the international radio frequency exposure limits. These limits are part
of comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of Radio Frequency
energy for the general population. The guidelines are based on the safety standards
previously set by international standards bodies:
•
•
American National Standards Institute (ANSI) IEEE. C95.1-199ꢀ
National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurement (NCRP).
Report 86. 1986
•
•
International Commission on Non-Ionising Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) 1996
Ministry of Health (Canada), Safety Code 6. The standards include a
substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons,
regardless of age and health.
Appendix 181
The exposure standard for wireless mobile phones employs a unit of measurement
known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The standard incorporates a
substantial margin of safety to give additional protection for the public and to
account for any variations in usage.
As with other mobile radio transmitting equipment, users are advised that for
satisfactory operation of the equipment and for the safety of personnel, it is
recommended that no part of the human body be allowed to come too close to the
antenna during operation of the equipment.
Your phone has an internal antenna. Use only the supplied integral antenna. Use
of unauthorized or modified antennas may impair call quality and damage your
phone, causing loss of performance and SAR levels exceeding the recommended
limits as well as result in non-compliance with local regulatory requirements in your
country.
To assure optimal phone performance and ensure human exposure to Radio
Frequency energy is within the guidelines set forth in the relevant standards;
always use your phone only in its normal-use position. Do not touch or hold the
antenna area unnecessarily when placing or receiving a phone call. Contact with
the antenna area may impair call quality and cause your phone to operate at a
higher power level than needed. Avoiding contact with the antenna area when
your phone is IN USE optimizes the antenna performance and the battery life.
Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions specified by
the FCC with the phone transmitting at its highest certified power level in all
tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified
power level, the actual SAR level of the phone while operation can be well
below the maximum value. This is because the phone is designed to operate at
multiple power levels so as to use only the power required to reach the network.
In general, the closer you are to a wireless base station antenna, the lower the
power output. Before a phone model is available for sale to the public, it must be
tested and certified to the FCC that it does not exceed the limit established by the
government-adopted requirement for safe exposure.
18ꢀ Appendix
The tests are performed in positions and locations (for example, at the ear and worn
on the body) as required by the FCC for each model. (Bodyworn measurements
may differ among phone models, depending upon available accessories and FCC
requirements). For body worn operation, to maintain compliance with FCC RF
exposure guidelines, use only original manufacturer approved accessories. When
carrying the phone while it is on, use the specific original manufacturer supplied or
approved carrying case, holster, or other body-worn accessory.

Safety Information
Pacemakers
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a minimum
separation of six inches be maintained between a handheld wireless phone
and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker. These
recommendations are consistent with the independent research by and
recommendations of Wireless Technology Research. Persons with pacemakers:
Should ALWAYS keep your phone more than six inches from their pacemaker
when your phone is turned on.
Should not carry your phone in a breast pocket.
Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for
interference. If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place,
turn your phone off immediately.
Hearing Aids
Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some hearing aids. In the event of
such interference, you may want to consult your wireless service provider, or call
the customer service line to discuss alternatives.
Appendix 18ꢁ
Other Medical Devices
If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer of your
phone to determine if they are adequately shielded from external Radio Frequency
energy. Your physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this information.
Turn the phone off in health care facilities when any regulations posted in
these areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be using
equipment that could be sensitive to external Radio Frequency energy.
