Inserting the micro-SIM card

•

Your phone supports only standard micro-SIM cards. Do not use any

other sizes as they may damage your phone. To replace or purchase a

micro-SIM card, contact your service provider.

Getting started

•

The dimensions of a standard micro-SIM card are 15 mm x 12 mm x

0.76 mm (0.59 in. x 0.47 in. x 0.03 in.).

Remove the battery cover.

Insert the SIM card.

Getting started

Inserting a microSD card

You can expand your phone's storage capacity with a microSD card.

Open the battery cover.

Take out the battery.

Install the microSD card.

Installing the Battery

Angle the edge labeled a (with the contacts) into the bottom end of the

battery compartment.

Push the edge labeled b into the compartment until the battery clicks

firmly into place.

Charging the battery

You can charge the phone in either of the following ways:

•

Use the provided USB cable and power adapter to connect your phone to a

power socket.

•

Use a USB cable to connect your phone to a computer, and touch

only

on the

screen.

Charge

Getting started

Battery indicator

Your phone's battery level is shown on the status indicator.

•

Blinking red: The battery level is lower than 10%.

•

Steady red (when charging): The battery level is lower than 10%.

•

Steady yellow (when charging): The battery level is higher than 10%.

•

Steady green (when charging): The battery is almost or already full.

Important information about the battery

•

Rechargeable batteries have a limited lifecycle and may eventually need to

be replaced. If you notice significantly reduced battery life, replace the

battery.

•

If your phone has been running for long periods of time, especially in hot

environments, heat may be pushed to the surface of the phone. If your

phone is overheating, cease using it immediately and unplug it from any

power source to let it cool down. Do not hold on to the phone for too long

to avoid burn injuries.

•

Use the original battery, power adapter, and USB cable to charge your

phone. Using third-party accessories may reduce your phone's

performance or pose security risks. Do not operate your phone or cover it

with any object while it is charging. Do not cover the power adapter either.

•

The time required to fully charge the battery depends on the ambient

temperature and age of the battery.

•

If your phone is low on power, it plays an alert tone and displays a

message. If the battery level is extremely low, your phone automatically

powers off.

Getting started

•

If the battery power is depleted, you may not be able to power on your

phone immediately after you begin charging the battery. This is normal.

Allow the battery to charge for a few minutes before attempting to power

on your phone.

•

To power off your phone, press and hold the power button to display an
