Multitasking

You can have multiple applications open at the same time. To
open a new application, tap the home button to return to the
Home screen, then start the new application.

Tip: To prolong battery life, it is better to close an application when you’ve
finished using it. Do this by either pressing the Back key or the Menu button and
selecting Exit (if available).

Turning off your smartphone

1. Press and hold the power button until you get the phone options menu.
2. Tap Power off > OK.

-OR-

• Simply press and hold the power button until the screen turns off (around 5

seconds).

Forcing phone shutdown

If the normal shutdown isn’t helping, you can simulate a battery removal (or "battery
pull"). To do this, press the power button and hold for around 12 seconds.
