Key Functions
1. Proximity Sensors sense proximity towards other
objects (such as your head) so that touch
commands are not accidentally activated during a
call.
2. Status Bar provides information about your
device's status and options, such as signal
strength, roaming, ringer setting, messaging, and
battery charge. The status bar displays icons
indicating that you’ve received notifications (on the
left) and icons indicating the device's status (on
the right), along with the current time.
3. Call Key displays the dialpad so you can dial a
number. Also provides additional tabs to access
Call log, Contacts, and your Favorites.
4. Home Key returns to the Home screen. If you're
already viewing one of extension panes, it opens
the central Home screen. Press and hold to display
recently used applications.
5. Menu Key allows you to access your device's main
functions menu:
Add, Wallpaper, Sprint ID, Search,
Notifications, and Settings. While in a menu, press
to open a list of options available.
6. Back Key returns to the previous screen. Also
closes pop-up display items such as menus and
dialog boxes.
7. Search Key displays the Quick Search box that can
be used to search for a key term both on the
device and online (page 26).
For example, entering the word “Pa” will display
any matching entries from your device’s Contacts
list, installed applications, or will suggest search
terms.
Press and hold to launch Voice Search where you
can initiate a Google™ search by verbally entering
search terms. The device recognizes your spoken
words and initiates a Web search.
Note: Please be careful not to cover the sensors with a
protective film, pouch, or a protective case not
authorized by LG.
