Volume & Power buttons




Power Menu

Note that holding the Power button in will show a Power symbol
Tapping on the Power symbol will bring up another menu


Tap the ‘Emergency’ symbol to make a call to Emergency services (000).

Tap on ‘Lockdown’ to provide an extra layer of security by disabling less-secure unlock methods. When you enable it, fingerprint scanning and Smart Lock are turned off, leaving only the PIN, pattern or password to unlock the BigPurplePhone. However, this is not recommended for most users.

Tap on ‘Power off’ to turn the handset off completely not just the screen.

Tap on ‘Restart’ to turn the handset power off and back on again (also called Power refresh).
