Sleep mode
Sleep mode suspends your phone to a low power state while the display is off in order to
save battery power. You will still be able to receive messages and calls while the phone is in
Sleep mode.
For information on how to adjust the time before the screen turns off, see “Adjusting the time before
the screen turns off” in the Settings chapter.
Switching to Sleep mode
Briefly press the POWER button to turn off the display temporarily and switch your phone to
Sleep mode. Your phone also automatically goes into Sleep mode when you leave the phone
idle after a certain period of time. Switching to Sleep mode also prevents accidental button
or touch screen presses when the phone is in your bag or pocket.
Waking up from Sleep mode
Your phone wakes up automatically when you have an incoming call. To wake up your phone
manually, press the POWER button. You will then see that the phone has locked the screen.
To find out how to unlock the screen, see “Unlocking the screen.”
Unlocking the screen
Press the bar on the lock screen and then slide your finger down to unlock the screen or to
answer an incoming call.
You can also press MENU while on the lock screen to unlock the screen.
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, see
“Protecting your phone with a screen lock” in the Security chapter.
