access panel located on the left side of the phone.

4 Close the micro SIM card and microSD card
access panel.
%
NOTE
Turn the phone off before inserting or removing
the SIM card.
This device supports up to a 64GB microSD
card.
Some applications from Play Store store data
on the microSD card as well as on the phone. Due to this feature, if you skip the unmount procedure, it can cause an error because information between the microSD card and the phone is not accorded properly. In the worst case, the microSD card can be corrupted or damaged.
15
Getting Started

Charging your phone

1 Connect the wall adapter and USB cable as
shown below. The USB symbol on the USB cable should face toward you.
2 Plug the USB cable (as shown below) into
the phone's Charger/Accessory Port. Make sure the USB symbol is facing upwards.
Always unplug the charger from the wall socket after the phone is fully charged to save unnecessary power consumption of the charger.
%
NOTE
The battery must be fully charged initially to improve battery lifetime.
%
NOTE
Your phone has an internal antenna. Be careful not to scratch or damage this rear area, as that will cause loss of performance.
When the battery becomes fully discharged and you connect the phone to a charger, the LED lights for the keys at the bottom of the phone will blink. This is normal operation for a completely discharged battery to prevent overflowing current because the phone is designed to provide reasonable protection against damage to the battery. Once the battery has enough charge, the screen will turn on and display a battery image.

Removing the microSD card

To safely remove the microSD card from your phone, you must first unmount it.
1 From the Home screen, tap the
