Installing the SIM Card and Powering Up
SIM Card Safety Note: SIM cards are small enough to become a choking hazard,
so please keep them away from children. SIM cards are also quite delicate. Please be
careful when handling your card, and if you need to store the card, we recommend using
a small bottle or a dedicated card-carrier to keep your card safe. (Old film canisters and
empty prescription bottles work well.)
You must insert your SIM card before using your phone!
Power On, Power Off: Inserting or removing a SIM card requires that your phone be
completely off. Here’s how to power your phone on or off.
On: Hold down the power button for a few seconds.
(This is sometimes known as a “long-press”, see Contols & Using The Touchscreen)
Off: Hold down the power button for a few seconds. When you see the menu pop up,
tap the “Power Off” option. Confirm the choice to power off the phone.
Installation:
1: Power off your phone fully.
2: Remove the rear cover and battery.
3: Insert SIM card according to the diagram inside the phone.
4: Re-insert the battery and close the rear cover.
5: Power on your phone.
Controls & Using The Touchscreen
While your NU3S smartphone certainly has a number of buttons you can push, you will
control it primarily by using the touchscreen. You may wonder just how many different
ways one can touch a screen, and as it turns out there are a few of them! You’ll find a
handy list of the most common ones below, which includes the name for the gesture and
a description how to perform it.
Important!:
Your phone’s touchscreen is NOT pressure-sensitive, as it instead works
by sensing tiny electrical currents. This means that when you touch the
screen, you only need to make contact, you do not need to apply
pressure. If your fingertips are heavily callused (or if you are wearing
non-conductive gloves), the screen may not “hear” you or register your
touches properly. In that case, try a different fingertip or a patch of bare skin.
