Welcome to the NGM Android™ world. Thank you for purchasing NGM Forward Ruby. With this device you can have access to the many features of the new edition of the Android™ 4.4.2 KitKat OS to manage your contacts, email, social networks and to discover the opportunities of Internet with just a single touch! Discover the full potential of your new "smart" phone. Compared to the usual mono SIM Smartphones, NGM Dynamic Ruby offers the convenience of Dual SIM that has always characterized the entire range of NGM phones, i.e. the ability to handle two SIM cards and consequently two phone numbers at the same time. You will discover other useful features such as setting the preferred SIM for calls, video calls, messages and data connection. By visiting the official website www.ngm.eu you can appreciate the whole range of NGM mobile phones, ask for after sales assistance, access the forum for technical assistance and download software updates.
Warning: Data Connection of NGM Forward Ruby is active as soon as you first turn on the phone (and also after every factory data reset). If you do not have a special or "flat" rate for data connection with your SIM card, you are recommended to turn off data traffic and set up a Wi-Fi connection, in order to avoid additional costs.

Charge the battery
Charge the battery before starting to use the device. Use the supplied USB cable and the USB connector on the lower side of the phone. Connect the charger to the provided wall socket adapter, and then the device to the USB cable. You can also charge the phone by connecting it with the PC USB port, but in this case charging will take longer. When the battery is charging, an animated icon on the screen will show the charging progress if the phone is on. Once the battery icon is filled, it is fully charged and the phone can be disconnected from the grid.
Warning: Do not connect the phone to a booting-up or running down PC to avoid voltage jumps. To preserve the functionality of the product and the integrity of the warranty, we recommend the use of original NGM chargers. Please charge the battery indoors, in a dry and favorable environment.

Synchronization
Synchronization is the most efficient approach to manage your useful data because it allows you to make a backup of the data on your device with an internet account. In case of replacement, loss or damage of the phone you will not experience loss of data. The synchronization can be automatic (Settings > Data usage > Contextual menu > Auto-sync data) or can be activated manually, individually for each installed application to be synchronized; you can find the list of such applications in Settings > Account [installed App list]. To add a new account, select Add Account. The synchronization uses an active data connection, which could result in data traffic costs. It is advisable to use a WiFi connection when available.

When the GPS function is activated, the phone starts to collect data from satellites and determines the current position. The Fix Times (position detection) are variable and can be affected by several external factors (clouds, high buildings, etc.). Limit the use of battery and memory by switching off this function when you don't need it.
