How long the battery can last before it needs recharging depends on how you use
your phone. Among these are the phone features and accessories you use
(for example, leaving your Bluetooth connection always on uses more power). Long
phone calls and frequent web browsing use up much battery. Also, consider your
location: poor signal strength from your mobile network and extreme temperature
make the battery work harder.

Right after you take your phone out from the box for the first time, don’t forget to remove the
thin film wrapped around the battery that’s inside your phone.

stored contact or a number from your call log.
1. On the Home screen, tap
.

What is Smart dial?
The phone dialer’s Smart Dial feature makes it quick and easy for you to place a call.
Simply enter the phone number or first few letters of the person’s name you want to
call. Smart Dial automatically searches and filters your contacts list (stored on your
phone, SIM card, and online accounts such as Google Account and Exchange
ActiveSync) and the phone numbers from the call log.
For example, if you tap number “2” on the phone dialer, which is associated with [a, b,
and c] on the phone dialer, contact names such as the following will be considered
matches: “Ben Miller”, “George Adams”, “John-Carter”, “Carter, Ellen”, “Dixon, Allan”,
“Thomas_Clark”, “JaneCampbell”.
If the matching list is long and you want to narrow down the search further, enter
another letter. Using the same example above, if you continue to tap “3” which is
associated with [d, e, f], the matching list will be narrowed down to the following
names: “Ben Miller”, “George Adams”, “Carter, Ellen”, “Dixon, Allan”.

Where sent information is saved
When you send information from your phone using Bluetooth, the location where it’s
saved depends on the type of information and the receiving device.
If you send a calendar event or contact, it is normally added directly to the
corresponding app on the receiving device. For example, if you send a calendar event
to a compatible phone, the event is shown in that phone’s calendar app.
If you send another file type to a Windows computer, it is normally saved in the
Bluetooth Exchange folder within your personal document folders.
On Windows XP, the path may be:
C:\Documents and Settings\[your username]\My Documents\Bluetooth
Exchange
On Windows Vista, the path may be:
C:\Users\[your username]\Documents
On Windows 7, the path may be:
C:\Users\[your username]\My Documents\Bluetooth Exchange Folder
If you send a file to another device, the saved location may depend on the file type.
For example, if you send an image file to another mobile phone, it may be saved in a
folder named “Images.”
Receiving information using Bluetooth
Your phone is capable of receiving a wide variety of file types with Bluetooth,
including photos, music tracks, and documents such as PDFs.
The first time you transfer information between your phone and another device, you
need to enter or confirm a security passcode. After that, your phone and the other
device are paired, and you will not need to exchange passcodes to transfer
information in the future.
To receive files using Bluetooth, you need to have a microSD card on your phone.

networks > Bluetooth settings.
2. If the Bluetooth check box is not selected, select it to turn Bluetooth on.

Also enter the same passcode on both your phone and the other device, or
confirm the auto-generated passcode.
A Bluetooth authorization request is then displayed on your phone.
6. If you want to automatically receive files from the sending device in the future,
