Find my location using GPS satellites
To activate your phone's global positioning system (GPS) satellite receiver:
•
Touch the Menu key from the Home screen.
Touch Settings\Location.
•
•
Touch the
switch beside Location, touch Agree to turn on.
You can then open Maps to find your location:
Use your phone's GPS satellite receiver to pinpoint your location within accuracy as close as several
meters ("street level"). The process of accessing the GPS satellite and setting your phone's precise
location for the first time will require up to 5 minutes. You will need to stand in a place with a clear
view of the sky and avoid moving. After this, GPS will only need 20-40 seconds to identify your
precise location.

Data backup ���������������������������������������
This phone enables you to back up your phone's settings and other application data to Google
Servers, with your Google account.
If you replace your phone, the settings and data you've backed up are restored onto the new phone
the first time you sign in with your Google account.
To activate this function:
•
Touch the Menu key from the Home screen.
Touch Settings\Backup & reset\Back up my data.
•
When this function is activated, a wide variety of settings and data is backed up, including your
bookmarks, a list of the applications you've installed, the words you've added to the dictionary used
by the onscreen keyboard, and most of the settings that you configure with the Settings application.
If you deactivate this option, you stop backing up your settings, and any existing backups are deleted
from Google Servers.

Factory data reset ��������������������������
To activate factory data reset:
•
Touch the Menu key from the Home screen.
Touch Settings\Backup & reset\Factory data reset.
•
•
Touch the RESET PHONE.
Resetting the phone will erase all of your personal data from internal phone storage, including
information about your Google account, any other accounts, your system and application settings,
and any downloaded applications. If you reset the phone in this way, you're prompted to re-enter the
same kind of information as when you first started Android.
When you are unable to power on your cellphone, there is another way to perform a factory data
reset by pressing the Power key and the Volume up key at the same time until the screen lights up.
