Getting Started

Before you start using the phone, you need to insert the SIM card and battery.

Installing the SIM card and battery

1 Use the fingertip cutout to remove the back cover.

2 Insert the Micro SIM card. Make sure the gold

contact area on the card is facing downwards.

NOTE :

Do not confuse the location for the Micro SIM card slot and the microSD card slot.

3 Insert the battery.

4 Place the back cover over the battery compartment

and press it downwards until it clicks into place.

To store multimedia files, such as pictures taken using the camera, to an SD card, you must insert a microSD card into your phone.

Installing the microSD card

1 Use the fingertip cutout to remove the back cover.

2 Insert the microSD card into the upper slot (above

the Micro SIM card slot). Make sure the gold contact area is facing downwards.

NOTE

The microSD card is sold separately.

Warning!

Do not remove the microSD card without first unmounting it using the Storage menu. Otherwise the microSD card, as well as your phone, may become damaged and the data stored on the microSD card may get corrupted. To unmount the microSD card safely, touch >

Charging your phone

A rechargeable Li-ion battery is used to power your phone. A USB adapter, which is included with your phone, is used to charge the battery. Ask your T-Mobile sales representative for further details regarding approved batteries and chargers.

Before using your phone for the first time, make sure the battery is fully charged. An uncharged battery will fully recharge after 3 hours.

USB Adapter

USB Cable

Warning!

If the touch screen does not function while the phone is in the process of charging, it may be due to an unstable power supply. If this occurs, disconnect the USB cable from the device or unplug the USB adapter from the power outlet.

1 Connect the USB adapter and USB cable (as

shown on the previous page).

2 Plug the USB cable (as shown on the next image)

into the phone’s Charger/Accessory Port.

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 charging your phone with a fully discharged battery, the red LED indicator will briefly flash indicating charging is occurring in a mode designed to prevent battery damage. The blinking will stop and normal charging will commence once a sufficient minimum charge has been established.
