User's Manual

Applications
An application is a phone program that helps you
perform a task. For example, there are applications to
make calls, take photos and download more
applications.
Status and notifications
The status bar at the top of your screen shows what's
going on in your phone. For example, new message
and calendar notifications appear here.
A notification light also gives you battery status
information and some notifications. For example, a
flashing blue light means there is a new message or a
missed call. The notification light may not work when
the battery level is low.
Checking notifications and ongoing
activities
You can drag down the status bar to open the
Notification panel and get more information. For
example, you can use the panel to open a new
message or view a calendar event. You can also open
some applications that run in the background, such as
the music player.
