7GETTING STARTED

Getting Started

Installing the Nano-SIM Card
and Memory Card

You do not need to power o your phone

before installing or replacing the nano-SIM
card or before installing or removing the

memory card (not included). You need to

unmount the memory card before removing

it (see Connecting to Networks and Devices
– Using the Memory Card as Portable or
Internal Storage).

Warning! To avoid damage to the phone,
do not use any other kind of SIM card or
any nonstandard nano-SIM card cut from a

SIM card. You can get a standard nano-SIM

card from your service provider.

1. Insert the tip of the tray eject tool into
the hole on the card tray. Pull the tray out.

2. Place the nano-SIM card and the memory card

on the tray with the gold-colored contacts
facing down.

3. Carefully slide the tray back into place.

Charging the Battery

Your phone’s battery should have enough power for the phone
to turn on, nd a signal, and make a few calls. You should fully

charge the battery as soon as possible.

Warning! Use only ZTE-approved chargers and cables. The use of
unapproved accessories could damage your phone or cause the
battery to explode.

Caution: Do not attempt to change the built-in rechargeable
battery yourself. The battery can only be changed by ZTE or a
ZTE-authorized service provider.

Note: Use the USB Type-C™ charger that comes
in-box with your phone to charge the battery.
It’s specially built to support Qualcomm®
Quick Charge™ 3.0.

1. Connect the adapter to the charging port.

2. Connect the charger to a standard AC wall
outlet. If the phone is on, you’ll see a charging
icon, such as or , appear in the Status Bar.

3. Disconnect the charger when the battery is

fully charged.

Note: If the battery is extremely low, you may be unable to power
on the phone even when it is being charged. In this case, try
again aer charging the phone for at least 20 minutes. Contact
customer service if you still cannot power on the phone aer

prolonged charging.

8 GETTING STARTED
