SIM card. Before you get started using your NU3S, please keep in mind the following safety tips. First of all, do not text and drive! It is unsafe as well as against the law.
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.

“Tap”: In some documentation, this may also be referred to as a “touch” or even a “click”. It’s almost exactly like tapping your finger on a table; aim a single fingertip, touch it to the screen, and pull it away from the screen. You can have your finger in contact with the screen for quite a bit before the phone registers it as a “long-press”, so don’t feel like you have to pull away instantly.
Swiping is normally used to bring a menu onto the screen, switch between windows, or other large-scale actions that involve most or all of the screen. “Two-finger swipe”: Just like a regular swipe, but with two fingertips instead of just one. Sometimes you’ll even see apps that ask for a three-finger swipe, but this is pretty rare.
Common Onscreen Buttons “Drawer”: This button is used to access a general menu in a particular app. In Google Maps, for example, it lets you switch between map and satellite view, among other things. In GMail, the Drawer allows you to switch between folders. If your app has a Drawer button, you should familiarize yourself with the options it presents.
“Trash”: Destroys the currently-selected item. There is usually no un-delete, so be careful! How Do I...? In the following pages you’ll find short introductions to the things you can do with a smartphone. These are not as in-depth as you’d find in the official Android User Guide from Google, as they’re meant to get you started.
FINISH! Find An App, Move Apps, Add Widgets Like any good smartphone, your NUU Mobile smartphone allows you to arrange your app icons as you see fit. You’ll have several screens on which you can place your icons, each screen accessible by swiping left or right.
Page 11
Add an App Icon: To add an app icon to a Home screen, find the app in All Apps. Long-press on the app, at which point All Apps will fade into the background and you will see your Home screen. Drag-n-drop the icon where you like.
WIDGETS: Widgets are special add-ons that come with many apps. Some are also built into Android itself. To access available widgets, Long press anywhere on the Home Screen open space, then tap “WIDGETS.” Like regular apps, just long-press and then drag-n-drop to place the widget.
Google’s official documentation. Make A Phone Call Of course, a phone should make calls, and your NUU Mobile smartphone will do just that. First, start the Phone app. It’s located on the main Home screen or can be accessed from All Apps.
NOTE: Your phone is equipped with a proximity sensor. When you place the phone next to your ear, the touchscreen is automatically shut off so that you do not activate any controls accidentally. When you pull the phone away from your ear, the touchscreen wakes back up.
Long-pressing a link will get you a menu of options, like opening the link in a new tab, for instance. This is really useful when trying to research a subject and you need multiple web pages open at once.. Send Text Messages DO NOT TEXT AND DRIVE As always, .
Take Pictures We very strongly recommend installing an SD card before using the camera! Use the SD card so that your photos are easily trans- ferrable. It is said that the best camera is the one you have with you, and part of the point of buy- ing a smartphone is to have one with you as needed.
Panoramic photos are easy, but do require steady movement. Put the camera in panorama mode, tap the blue shutter button, and slowly swing the camera in one sideways direction as if you were spinning around. Tap the shutter button again to stop taking a panorama.
FM Radio You can find the FM Radio app by using the All Apps button. You must plug in a pair of headphones to use the FM radio! The headphone cable is used as the FM antenna. You can make the sound output through the phone speakers, but you still must have the headphones plugged in.
Clock The Clock app has many features to go with its world clock abilities. Set alarms, use it as a stopwatch, and even turn it into one (or more!) countdown timers. Alarm: Tap the New Alarm//PLUS button to add an alarm. From here you can choose the time of day, the sound the alarm makes (including music), on what days it repeats, and its name.
Stopwatch: This is a basic stopwatch with start/stop functions and a lap button . A stopped timer can be shared with the share button Gallery & Photos These two apps allow you to view, edit, and share the photos you take and save. For information on the Photos app, please consult Google’s Google+ documentation at: https://support.google.com/plus/ You can find these apps in All Apps Gallery...

Filter: Apply photo filters, like B&W, Sepia, “Vintage”, and so on. Borders: Add frames and borders Transform: Crop, flip, rotate, straighten Adjustments: Exposure, color balance, contrast, etc.
Note that effects and edits are not permanent until you choose to save them with the Save button in the upper-left. Before you save, you can review effects and edits by using the Menu button. You’ll see the picture and a film-strip of effects applied running across the bottom of the screen.
Tap the Favorite//Frequent button to view your most-used contacts. The Menu//Overflow button lets you adjust list display settings, change or add ac- counts, import, explore, and otherwise manage your contacts list. Tap the Search button to search through your contacts. Just start typing to search by name, e-mail, and so on.
Music Your NUU Mobile smartphone comes with a custom music app which you can find in All Apps, titled “Music”. Once you load it up, you’ll see all the music you’ve added to your phone or placed on your SD card.
The Settings Menu The settings menu is a complex but necessary part of your smartphone. It allows you to connect to wireless networks, manage the apps stored on your phone, and change your security settings just to name a few among many options. You can find the settings menu either on one of your Home screens or in All Apps.

Wi-Fi connection. You’ll get both a graph and a list, showing which app used how much. Use the Overflow button to turn on the Wi-Fi usage, as well as toggle data roaming, au- to-sync, and background data restrictions. The “Data Usage Cycle” lets you look back through previous months.

changes the system font size--this is particularly useful to make the many items in Settings more readable! Storage: This sub-menu displays the status of your smartphone’s internal storage as well as that of any MicroSD card you have installed. The storage is broken down by type of content, and you also have options to un-mount or erase MicroSD cards.

accessed without using a PIN or password of some kind. Note that your phone cannot be unlocked without a password or PIN if you encrypt everything! Also note that losing your password will lock you, Google, and NUU out of your phone! Neither Google or NUU has the means to decrypt a phone.
To change settings, the “Enable” switches must be OFF first. “Time” is the appointed time and “Repeat” lets you select which days of the week for the schedule. Example: To make the phone power off while you sleep, set the Power Off settings to 10:30 PM and only check weekdays on the “Repeat”...

Charging Mode: In this mode, the phone will only charge on a computer USB port, not communicate with the computer. This is the default setting. Camera Mode: When connected in this mode, the phone appears to the computer as a camera. Media Device Mode: When connected in this mode, the phone appears to the computer as a regular flash drive.
