Turn over to mute option is activated).
For your convenience, your phone features a unique Reversible 
UI, which ensures functionality, including normal call, even the 
phone is held in reverse (upside-down) position.  
						

							34
4�1�3 Reverse UI on Idol4S only no call function supported
Your phone features a unique Reversible UI, which ensures complete 
functionality. When this feature is enabled through the  Settings\
Display\Reversible  menu, it allows normal calls to be made or 
received even when the phone is held upside down. The reversed 
UI will appear upright and normal, even if the phone is upside down.
When in the reversed position, the phone UI will appear upright and 
normal. The phone will function normally in all respects as it relates 
to interacting with the display, except that the power and volume 
keys will be on the opposite sides of their normal position. Also, take 
care to remember that the camera lenses (front and back) will be 
toward the lower edge of the device when in the reversed orientation. 
Please note that while a call is connected (user has selected Answer 
or Send), the UI will be fixed for the duration of the call. To disable 
the Reversible feature, go to the  Settings\Display setting menu and 
disable  Reversible .
Always make a visual inspection of the proper UI orientation when 
making or receiving a call to avoid placing the incorrect end of the 
phone to your ear. During an active call, if the phone must be taken 
away from your ear (eg, switching hands or to the other ear) please use 
caution not to use the phone in an orientation opposite that of which 
was used to originally make or answer the call. Doing so could cause 
unwanted, albeit brief, exposure to additional RF to the user. Only the 
active receiver (speaker) serving as the «top» of the device will function 
during the call so holding the device inadvertently in the opposite 
orientation will result in not being able to hear the other caller from 
the receiver against the ear. The user just needs to rotate the device 
back to the correct position to continue the call. Use of third-party 
auto-answer type features is also not recommended.
