may impact the normal operation of electronic devices and medical
instruments. Check your alarm clock settings to confirm that your
mobile phone will not be turned on automatically during flight.

• Avoid having the mobile phone come into contact with water or other

battery leakage or other malfunction.

dispose of old batteries at the directed places with specific rules for
their disposal in your country.

battery.

• If the liquid from the battery comes in contact with skin or clothing

this could cause burning of the skin. Immediately use clear water to
rinse and seek medical advice if necessary.

• Please do not let the battery become wet as this may cause the

battery to overheat, smoke and corrode.

Charging the Battery

• Ensure the battery is installed (arrow facing up), fix rear cover and

then connect the charger to the mobile phone.

• When the battery level indicator does not flash this indicates the

battery is full and charging has been completed. If the phone is off
during charging, the charging complete image also appears on the
screen. The charging process often takes 3 to 4 hours. During charging,
the battery, phone and charger may get warm, this is normal.

• Upon the completion of charging, disconnect the charger from power

supply and from the mobile phone.

• Note: During charging, the phone must be placed in well-ventilated

environment of ＋5℃ ~ ＋40℃.

Inserting and removing the SIM card

• Turn off the phone; remove the battery and unplug other external

power supplies. Insert a SIM card into one of the SIM holders as shown
in the phone.

• When you need to remove a SIM card, turn off the phone, remove the

battery and then remove the SIM card from the holder.

Warning: Turn off your phone before removing the SIM card. Never insert or
remove the SIM card when an external power supply is connected.

Unlocking and Powering On and Off

Smartphone User Guide v1.0 Page 6

place your finger on the padlock icon and drag towards the edge of the outer
circle. If you have setup a PIN or other lock method you will need to enter this
instead of swiping.

Locking the Screen

By default the smartphone locks itself automatically after 1 minute if unused.
To manually lock the screen, press the power button. The screen will go blank
and your device will be locked.

Connecting to the network and internet

When powered on, your phone searches for available mobile networks
automatically (the screen will show that network searching is underway). If
your phone has found an available network, the name of network service
provider appears at the centre of screen and also at the bottom of the lock
screen.

Note: Making an emergency call - If “only for emergency calls” appears on the
screen, it indicates that you are beyond coverage (service area) for your
network, however you can still make emergency calls depending on the signal
intensity.

Connecting to the Internet with WiFi

Your smartphone can connect to any router that supports the 802.11b/g/n
standard. To connect to your wireless network:

1. Touch Settings, Wireless & Networks then Wi-Fi.

2. Touch the Wi-Fi Off/On toggle.

3. Touch your network name from the list.

4. Input your password.

If you are not sure what your password is it can normally be found on the
side/underneath of your router. This is normally case sensitive so please enter it
exactly as shown. If you are unsure please call your ISP who should be able to
remind you of your password. If you have problems connecting to your Wi-Fi try
changing the router security settings to WPA/WPA2.
