Let’s get started

Thanks for choosing the CQ550. It’s a WCDMA Digital Mobile Phone, which we’ll simply
call ‘phone’ from now on. Powered by AndroidTM, the phone supports 3G high-speed
internet access, which brings you brand new experiences.

To ensure proper phone operation and longevity, please read this guide carefully.
And don’t worry if the pictures we use to demonstrate your phone’s functions look a little

different from what you see on its screen. It’s the functions they show that matter.
This user manual is to introduce the phone’s functions. For detailed precautions,

installation descriptions, authentication information, please refer to the Quick Start Guide.
