Turn everything (the screen and wireless services) on/off

Usually, turning your phone off and/or putting it in airplane mode is
sufficient for normal periods when you have the phone with you but you’re
not using it.

NOTE

When you turn everything off, the phone’s alarms, ringer, and notifications

are also turned off.

On rare occasions, however, you may want to put your phone into deep
sleep because you are not going to use it for an extended period. At those
times, do one of the following:

Open

Use gestures: tap, swipe, drag, flick, pinch

Gestures are an important, basic part of your phone. They’re easy to learn,
and they make working with the phone fast. You make most gestures with
one finger. For a few, you need two. Make gestures with the tip of your
finger. Do not use your fingernail. Don't bear down.

To see short animations illustrating how to make gestures, go to

palm.com/support

or tap

Clips

in Help on your phone (see

Open

applications

for information on how to open Help).

You make gestures in two areas on your phone: the touchscreen and the
gesture area. The gesture area is the black area extending along the bottom
of the screen.

* Gesture area

When you’re working in an application, the gesture area displays a lighted
bar in the center. Tap the bar to minimize the app and display Card view
(see

Display all open applications (Card view)

). The lighted bar also appears

when you tap the center of the gesture area to maximize a card in Card
view.
