2. Try 18/3 for example with Calculator (This is to check 6 can be displayed well or not)3. Exit Calculator, dial a telephone number which contains 6 or try other applications (for example email/text/address...) to input number 6(This is to check key "6" works well or not outside of Calculator)kurtz182
