details, such as your PIN, available optional
services, and others features.

Warning: The plug-in SIM card information and its
contacts can be easily damaged by scratching or
bending, so be careful when handling, inserting, or
removing the card. Keep all SIM cards out of reach of
small children.

1. Remove the back cover using the slot on the top

left of your phone.

2. Lift the cover up and to the right of the phone.

Warning: Do not bend or twist the back cover
excessively. Doing so may damage the cover.

Make sure that the card’s gold contacts face into
the phone and that the upper-left angled corner
of the card is positioned as shown.

head from the outlet and remove the USB cable
from the device.

Caution: Failure to unplug the wall charger before you
remove the battery, can cause damage to the device.

When to Charge the Battery

When the battery is weak and only a few minutes
of operation remain, the battery icon ( ) blinks
and the device sounds a warning tone at regular
intervals.

In this condition, your device conserves its
remaining battery power by dimming the screen.

When the battery level becomes too low, the device
automatically turns off.

► For a quick check of your battery level, view the

battery charge indicator located in the upper­right corner of your device’s display. A solid
color ( ) indicates a full charge.

You can also choose to display a percentage
value. Viewing a percentage value can provide
a better idea of the remaining charge on the

Before You Start Exercising

This app can be used to monitor your exercise.
While moderate physical activity, such as brisk
walking, is safe for most people, health experts
suggest that you talk with your doctor before you
start an exercise program, particularly if you have
any of the following conditions:

Heart disease;

•

Asthma or lung disease;

•

Diabetes, or liver or kidney disease;

•

Arthritis.

•

You should also check with your doctor if you have
symptoms suggestive of heart, lung, or other serious
disease, such as:

Finally, the American College of Sports Medicine
recommends that you see your doctor before
engaging in vigorous exercise if two or more of the
following apply:

You are a man older than age 45 or a woman

•

older than age 55;

You have a family history of heart disease before

•

age 55;

You smoke or quit smoking in the past six months;

prediabetes.

When in Doubt — Check It Out

If you are unsure of your health status, have several
health problems, or are pregnant, you should speak
with your doctor before starting a new exercise
program. Working with your doctor ahead of time is
a good way to plan an exercise program that is right
and safe for you. Consider it the first step on your
path to physical fitness.

Pair Bluetooth Devices

The Bluetooth pairing process allows you to
establish trusted connections between your device
and another Bluetooth device.

Pairing between two Bluetooth devices is a one­time process. Once a pairing is created, the devices
will continue to recognize their partnership and
exchange information without having to re-enter a
passcode again.

1. From a Home screen, tap Apps >



Settings.

2. Tap Bluetooth, and then tap ON/OFF to turn on

Bluetooth.

Disconnect a Paired Device

Disconnecting a paired device breaks the
connection between the device and your device, but
retains the knowledge of the pairing. At a later point
when you wish to reconnect the device, there is no
need to setup the connection information again.

1. From a Home screen, tap Apps >



Settings.

2. Tap Bluetooth, and then tap ON/OFF to turn on

Bluetooth.

3. Tap the previously paired device.

4. Tap OK to confirm disconnection.

so that your device can find it. Refer to the
instructions that came with the device to find out
how to set it to discoverable mode.

4. Tap Scan. Your device will start to scan for
Bluetooth devices within range.

5. When you see the name of the target device
displayed in the Bluetooth devices section, tap
the name. Your phone then automatically tries to
pair with the target device. If automatic pairing
fails, enter the passcode supplied with the target
device.

Note: Due to different specifications and features
of other Bluetooth-compatible devices, display and
operations may be different, and functions such as
transfer or exchange may not be possible with all
Bluetooth compatible devices.

Delete a Paired Device (Unpairing)

When you unpair from a Bluetooth device, the two
devices will no longer recognize each other. To
connect again, you’d need to pair the devices.

1. Verify your Bluetooth is active.
