2.1.1.
Position your phone and locate the Home button.
If your elastomer keypad overlay is already on the phone: the Home button will be easy to find as it is the
closest to the bottom edge in the centre.
The Home button is essential as it allows you to go back to the Home screen at any moment.
Get this habit from the start: if you want to quit an application, launch a new one or if you are lost press the
Home button to start back from a familiar point!
A double click on the Home button can also allow you to switch from the Android standard interface with
Talk Back to the default Voice Mode interface if this option is activated (See chapter “learn how to use the
standard Android environment”)
To get access to the recent or running applications, press the Home button for a few seconds. These
running applications can be closed to save the battery by pressing the Correction key above the Back key.

Use the “Sleep-Wake” button to turn your phone on and off, and go in
and out of Sleep mode
The Sleep-Wake button is located on one side of your phone. It switches the phone on and off and in and
out of sleep mode.
Press the Sleep-Wake button for a few seconds to switch on your phone. The phone will take approximately
30 seconds to switch on completely.
To completely switch off your phone, press the Sleep-Wake button for approximately 1 second and choose
from the General options menu between the lines “1- Power off” or “4- Restart”.
Note that from this General Options menu you can also:
Activate or deactivate airplane mode (which cuts all the phone’s connections)
Activate or deactivate vibration mode (to mute or turn back on your phone’s ringtone)
Leave the default Voice Mode interface to the Google Android Standard interface for the most
experienced users (to go back to Voice Mode, double-click quickly on the Home button).
Activate or deactivate WiFi
Activate or deactivate GPS
Activate or deactivate Bluetooth
To go in or out of Sleep mode, press the Sleep-Wake button. If you are getting out of sleep mode, the
phone will read the first line of the screen and if you are activating it, the phone will make a sound. You can
also get out of Sleep mode by pressing the Home button.
