Home Screen - HTC HT-03A Manual

Turn off the screen when not in use
To save battery power, the phone automatically turns off the screen
when you leave it idle after a certain period of time. You will still be
able to receive messages and calls while the phone's screen is off.
Tip
• For information on how to adjust the time before the screen turns off, refer
to "To adjust the time before the screen turns off" on page 127. You can
also turn off the screen by pressing the END CALL/POWER button.
Pressing any of the control buttons again or incoming calls will turn on
your phone screen.
Note
• If you have set up a screen unlock pattern, you will be prompted to draw
the pattern on the screen before it unlocks. For more information on how
to create and enable the screen unlock pattern, refer to "Protect your
phone with a screen lock" on page 129.
