MOBIWIRE NOKOSI 3G 2.4"

Background:........
A relative purchased this excellent small mobile phone but as someone not into technology and of advancing years found the instruction book to be not at all easy to understand or logical to follow. As I had suggested the purchase of this phone I felt it was up to me to try to help, and so produced the following notes which I hope will prove to be of use to others.

1. VOLUME If the phone volume is low or is completely off, open the home screen and keep pressing the up part of the outer ring until a large green pointer appears at the top of the screen then press centre button then use the outer ring to increase or decrease the volume. (I would just keep pressing the right side of the outer ring to make it the maximum volume) Then press the centre button to confirm and use the white arrow key to get back the the home screen.
