Using data traffic when traveling
When you travel outside of your home cellular network, you might need to access the

device. It is recommended to check the relevant data transmission charges in advance.

1 From your Homescreen, tap .
2 Find and tap Settings > More… > Mobile networks.
3 Mark or unmark the Data roaming checkbox.
You can’t activate data roaming when mobile data is turned off.
Using your device with a car infotainment system
Connect your device to a MirrorLink™ certified car infotainment system using a USB
cable to, for example, use a navigation app or play music from your device while driving.
When connected, you can navigate the apps using the car infotainment system controls.
Some applications may not be available during MirrorLink™ connection. Also, protected data,
such as videos that are strictly protected under Digital Rights Management (DRM), is not made
available via MirrorLink™.
To connect your device to a car infotainment system
• Connect your device and the car infotainment system using a USB cable. The
screen of your device appears on the screen of the infotainment system.
You may need to start MirrorLink™ manually if the connection between your device and the
infotainment system is not established automatically.

4 Tap Start MirrorLink™, then tap OK.
5 If the connection still fails, tap Network address to change to another network
address in case the same network address is being used by other services such
as Bluetooth® and Wi-Fi®, and then try again.
Airplane mode
In Airplane mode, the network and radio transceivers are turned off to prevent
disturbance to sensitive equipment. However, you can still play games, listen to music,
watch videos and other content, as long as all this content is saved on your memory
card or internal storage. You can also be notified by alarms, if alarms are activated.
Turning on Airplane mode reduces battery consumption.
