CHAPTER 2 Learning the Basics
Using the keyboard
Understanding the keyboard backlight
Your smartphone includes a keyboard backlight for low light conditions.
The keyboard backlight activates automatically when the screen turns
on. It turns off automatically when the screen turns off or when you are
on a call or playing music in the background for longer than the time
specified in Backlight Settings. The backlight also turns off when an
application’s power-saving features turn it off.
Entering lowercase and uppercase letters
By default, the first letter of each sentence or field is capitalized and the
remaining text you enter is lowercase. To enter other uppercase letters,
do one of the following:
• Press Shift , and then enter a letter. You don’t need to press and
hold Shift while entering a letter.
