Read the topics in this chapter to get a quick understanding of how your device operates:
Parts of Your T-Mobile Device
The illustration below identifies the basic elements of your device.
Each element is described in more detail in the topics below.
Device Display
Your device comes with a swivel display lid that covers the keyboard in the closed position. Even when closed,
the LCD faces up and the control buttons are exposed, so you can use your device. When you open the display
lid (by rotating it clockwise), the display automatically rotates 180-degrees. Read more details below.
Warning! The hinge in the swivel display lid is assisted by a very strong magnet. Be careful to keep the device
away from magnetically sensitive items, such as credit cards and floppy disks.
