Basic Phone Functions

Draft!
We want the owner of the Moto Fire XT 531 to familiarize himself with the front layout of this phone. Photo from a screenshot of page 2 of the pdf manual. The problem with a smartphone is that the basic functions may get lost in the may application icons appearing in the screen! Here is a summary of the basic phone function commands for this inexpensive Android smartphone.
  • To make a call: Press Home/Contacts. You will see Phone, Call log Favourites icons in the top row.
    • Method 1. Press Phone icon. You can directly press the phone number or select from the contact list.
    • Method 2. Press Contacts icon. Select callee, two icons (call and messaging) will be shown. Then select phone icon.
  • Send text messages.
    • Method 1. Via Home/Contacts-Recipient in contact list. Press Home/Contacts and select recipient. Select Messaging icon.
    • Method 2. Via Home/Contacts-Recipient not in contact list, number known. Input phone number in To field. Compose text. Send text.
    • Method 3. Via Home/All Apps/Messaging. Tap on New Message. Specify number or select from contact list. Compose Message and tap Send.
  • View text messages| notifications. Tap Home/Menu/Notifications.
To be continued with photo illustrations.
