Getting started
Phone setup
Installing the micro-SIM card and battery
Power off your phone before installing or replacing the battery or micro-SIM card.
1. Insert your ngernail into the slot at the bottom left of the back cover and lift it up gently.
2. Hold the micro-SIM card with the cut corner oriented as shown and slip it into the card holder.
Important: Your phone only supports micro-SIM card. To avoid damage to the phone, do not use other kinds of SIM cards or a non-standard micro-SIM card cut from a SIM card. You can obtain the standard micro-SIM card from your service provider.
3. Carefully insert the battery with the contacts located against the metal springs. Push down on the battery until it is fully seated.
4. Align the back cover with the back of the phone and press the cover back into place. Make sure all the tabs are secure and there are no gaps around the cover.
8 GETTING STARTED
Installing the microSDHC card (not included)
The microSDHC card can be installed and removed while the phone is powered on. Unmount the microSDHC card before removing or replacing it.
1. Open the microSDHC card slot.
2. Hold your microSDHC card with the metal contacts facing down and slide it into the card slot.
Note: Some applications may require a microSDHC card to work normally or may store certain data on it. Therefore, it is recommended that you keep a microSDHC card installed and not remove or replace it randomly.
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.
If the battery is low, there will be a pop-up message on the screen. As you charge your phone, the screen will tell you the exact battery level each time you wake up your phone.
Warning! Use only ZTE-approved chargers and cables. The use of unapproved accessories could damage your phone or cause the battery to explode.
1. Insert the charger’s connector into the charging port. Be sure to insert the connector in the correct orientation. Do not force the connector into the port.
2. Plug the charger into a standard AC wall outlet. If the phone is on, you’ll see a charging icon, such as or , appear on the status bar.
9GETTING STARTED
3. When the battery is fully charged, unplug the charger and disconnect it from the phone.
Extending the battery life
Active applications, screen brightness levels, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi usage and GPS functionality can drain your battery. You can follow the helpful tips below to conserve your battery power:
• Reduce the screen backlight time.
• Lower the screen brightness.
• Turn auto-sync, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth off when not in use.
• Disable the GPS function when not in use. Most applications using this
function will periodically query the GPS satellites for your current location; each query drains your battery.

holding the Power key to open the options menu. Tap Restart and then tap OK.
Setting up your phone for the rst time
When you rst power on your phone after initial purchase or reset it to factory settings (see Settings – Personal – Backup & reset), you need to set up your phone settings before using it.
1. Tap the language eld to select the language you want to use and then
tap Start.
2. Select data use connections and tap Next.
3. Tap Skip to set up Wi-Fi connections later or tap a network. If the network is secured, enter the password and tap Connect > Next.
4. Set the date, time, and time zone, or use date and time data provided by the network. Then tap Next.
5. Tap Existing or New to sign into a Google account. Follow the instructions to complete setup. You can also tap Not now to set up an account later.
6. Congure the Google location options and tap Next.
7. Enter your name, which the phone uses to personalize some apps, and tap Next.
8. You will be prompted to accept the terms of Google service. Tap Next to continue.
9. Tap Finish to complete the setup.
Note: If the SIM is not installed, the step for selection of data use connections would be skipped, and you will be prompted to read the instructions that came with your phone.

password you must enter to unlock your screen.
Important: If you forget the pattern you set, try ve times and touch Forget pattern? to sign in to the Google account you have added on the phone

Protecting your phone with encryption
You can encrypt all the data on your phone: Google Accounts, application data, music and other media, downloaded information, and so on. If you do, you must enter a numeric PIN or a password each time you power on your phone.
Warning! Encryption is irreversible. The only way to revert to an unencrypted phone is to perform a factory data reset which erases all your data.
Encryption provides additional protection in case your phone is stolen and may be required or recommended in some organizations. Consult your system administrator before turning encryption on. In many cases the PIN or password you set for encryption is controlled by the system administrator.
Before turning on encryption, prepare as follows:
• Set a lock screen PIN or password.
• Charge the battery.
• Keep the phone connected to the charger.
• Schedule an hour or more for the encryption process. You must not interrupt
it or you will lose some or all of your data.
When you’re ready to turn on encryption:
1. From the home screen, tap the Menu key > System settings > Security > Encrypt phone.
2. Read the information about encryption carefully. The Encrypt phone button is dimmed if your battery is not charged or your
phone is not plugged in. If you change your mind about encrypting your phone, tap the Back key.
Warning! If you interrupt the encryption process, you will lose data.
3. Tap Encrypt phone.
4. Enter your lock screen PIN or password and tap Next.
5. Tap Encrypt phone again.
The encryption process starts and displays its progress. Encryption can take an hour or more, during which time your phone may restart several times.
When encryption is completed, you’re prompted to enter your PIN or password.
Subsequently you must enter your PIN or password each time you power on your phone in order to decrypt it.
