5
Accessories and battery
Use manufacturer approved accessories and batteries only.
Rational application
Use the mobile phone in normal way. Do not put your mobile phone in the environment with too high temperature
(higher than 50℃), for example, put it under the window which is irradiated by sunshine directly. Please use wet
or antistatic cloth to clean your phone. Do not use the cloth with static to wipe the phone.
Emergency call
Make sure that the mobile phone is switched on and in service area, enter the emergency number (e.g. 110) and
press the Call key to call the number. Report your position and explain your condition briefly. Do not end the
call without permission.
Note: Like other mobile phones, the characteristics of this phone may be not supported because of the network coverage or
wireless signals transmission. Certain networks even don’t support emergency call. Therefore, do not depend on mobile phone
only for very important communication (e.g. medical emergency). Please consult your local network operator.

then re-insert it into the slot properly.
If the SIM card is damaged, please contact your network operator.

4.4 Battery and charging
Installing the battery
Only use qualified battery and accessories. When the battery isn’t used, put it in the protective case.
Note: Please operate according to the figure to avoid damaging the battery contact.
Charging the battery
The new battery will reach its optimized performance after complete charging and discharging for several times.
Please charge in time when the battery voltage is low. Over discharging will damage the battery.
Disconnect the charger from the AC power supply and the mobile phone after charging.
While charging, the battery status icon flashes from left to right, and stops flashing after charging.
It is normal that the battery becomes warm in the charging process.
Battery status
Your mobile phone can monitor and display the battery status.
1> You can check the battery status from the icon in the upper right corner of the screen.
2> If the electricity is insufficient, the “Low Battery” prompt shows up. The mobile phone sends warning tone if the “Alert
Tone – Warning Tone” in Profiles is activated.
3> During charging, the icon of battery status blinks until the charging completes.
Note: The actual standby time and call time depend on the operation, local network, and settings of the SIM card and mobile
phone.
Using battery
The performance of the battery is affected by various factors, including wireless network settings, signal intensity,
environment temperature, the function or settings that you select, accessories and the mode of voice, data or other applications
that you select.
To keep the battery in optimum performance, please follow the rules below:
The charging of new battery or batteries haven’t been used for long time may be longer;
Keep the battery in room temperature when it is being charged;
It is normal that the charging time becomes longer after long time using. If the call time becomes shorter and charging time
becomes longer after normal charging, you need to change a qualified battery. Unqualified battery may damage your phone
and cause danger.
If the battery is left unused for too long time or the battery voltage is too low, it takes certain period of time to display the
charging interface normally when the charger is connected.
Note: To protect your safety and the environment, do not dispose the battery randomly.
Warning: The short circuit of battery may cause explosion, fire or body hurt.
Precautions of using battery
1> Switch off the phone before removing the battery.
2> Use the battery carefully. It will cause short circuit to connect the anode (+) and cathode (-) of the battery with metal
objects (coin, clip, etc.), and damage the battery and metal objects. When the battery is removed and put in the bag, do not
contact the anode and cathode of the battery with metal objects (e.g. keys).
