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.

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
adapter 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.

and display a battery image.

how to sign into that account.
