Phone settings Many phone settings are automatically configured by your smartphone when you insert a SIM card. The device will communicate with your provider and automatically obtain all necessary settings, such as network name, voice mail and text message center numbers. You can also view and modify these settings manually through the Call settings screen. Open the Applications menu and tap Settings > More... > Call settings. Connecting to a PC If you wish to transfer information between the microSD Card in your phone and your computer, you can connect your phone to a PC using the supplied USB cable. Plug the USB sync cable into the micro USB connector on your smartphone. Plug the USB client connector into an available USB port on your computer. Pull down the notification bar, and tap Connected as media device, or Connected as a camera to configure the USB options. You will now be able to see the microSD Card in your phone as a drive in your computer's file explorer. Note: After turning on USB storage, you will not be able to access the files in the microSD card or applications such as Gallery or Music. Synchronization You can sync your calendar, email and contacts on your phone and never worry about losing them again. Sync in real time or adjust it as you please. In the Applications menu tap Settings > Accounts & sync to access the synchronization settings. To have your smartphone auto-sync, make sure Accounts & sync is set to ON. To manage synchronization of individual accounts, tap an account to see their settings. To add a new account, tap ADD ACCOUNT. Select the type of account (Corporate, Email, Facebook, or Google) and then follow on the on screen instructions. 37
