Getting Started

Installing the SIM card and battery

Before you can start exploring your new phone, you’ll need to set it up. To insert the SIM card and battery:

1 Hold the phone on your hand firmly. With

the other hand, lift the back cover using the fingertip cutout located on the bottom of the cover and remove it.

2 Slide the SIM card into the SIM card slot.

Make sure the gold contact area on the card is facing downwards.

3 Insert the battery into place by aligning the

gold contacts on the phone and the battery (1) and press the battery down until it clicks into place (2).

4 Replace the back cover of the phone (as

demonstrated below). Apply a steady downward pressure until the battery cover clicks into place.

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.

Getting Started

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 keypad LED lights at the bottom of the phone will blink. This is normal operation for a completely discharged battery to prevent over-current ﬂ owing because the phone is designed to provide reasonable protection against damage to the battery. After a few minutes, the screen will turn on and display a battery image.

Inserting a microSD card

NOTE

This device supports up to a 32GB microSD card.

Getting Started

1 Turn the phone off before inserting or

removing the microSD card. Remove the back cover.

2 Gently insert the microSD card into the slot.

Make sure the gold contact area is facing downwards.

NOTE

On Android OS 2.3 and above, you can download applications from Play Store and store them on a 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.

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

and tap System settings > Storage >

Unmount SD card > OK.

Getting Started

2 Remove the battery cover and gently pull the

microSD card from the slot.

Warning

Switching between and exiting applications

Multi-tasking is easy with Android because open applications keep running even when you open another application. There is no need to quit an application before opening another.
