    Section 1: Getting Started
    This section helps you to quickly start using your device.
    Understanding This User Manual
    The sections of this manual generally follow the features of 
    your device. A robust index for features begins on page 128.
    Also included is important safety information, beginning on 
    page 128, that you should know before using your device.
    This manual gives navigation instructions according to the 
    default display settings. If you select other settings, 
    navigation steps may be different.
    Unless otherwise specified, all instructions in this manual 
    assume that you are starting from a Home screen. To get to a 
    Home screen, you may need to unlock the device. For more 
    information, refer to “Securing Your Device” on page 8.
    Note: Instructions in this manual are based on default settings 
    and may vary from your device depending on the 
    software version on your device and any changes to the 
    device’s settings.
    Note: Unless stated otherwise, instructions in this user

    Text Conventions
    This manual provides condensed information about how to 
    use your device. To make this possible, the following text 
    conventions are used to represent often-used steps:
    Batter y
    Your device is powered by a rechargeable, standard Li-Ion 
    battery. A Wall/USB Charger (Charging Head and USB cable) 
    are included with the device for charging the battery.
    Warning! Use only approved charging devices. Approved 
    accessories are designed to maximize battery life. 
    Using other accessories may invalidate your 
    warranty and may cause damage.
    Batter y Indicator
    The Battery icon   in the Status Bar shows the battery 
    power level. When battery power is 15% or less, your device 
    prompts you to charge the battery. If you continue to operate 
    the device without charging, the device powers off. For 
    battery use information, see “About Device” on page 126. ➔Arrows are used to represent the sequence of 
    selecting successive options in longer, or repetitive, 
    procedures. 
    For example:
    From a Home screen, touch   ➔  Settings 
    ➔Connections tab ➔ Wi-Fi.
    Certain features and options use an OFF/ON button. 
    For example:
    To u c h  t h e  OFF/ON button to turn Bluetooth ON 
     or OFF  .
