Installing the micro-SIM card and the microSD™ card

The micro-SIM card can be installed or removed while the phone is turned on. A microSD card (optional, not included) can be installed or removed while the phone is turned on. You need to unmount the microSD card before removing it. See Using the microSD Card as Portable or Internal Storage.

WARNING! To avoid damage to the phone, do not use any other kind of SIM cards, or any non-standard micro-SIM card cut from a SIM card. You can get a standard micro-SIM card from your service provider.

1. Insert your fingernail into the slot close to the bottom right of the back cover and lift it up gently.

2. Hold the micro-SIM card and the microSD card with the cut corner oriented as shown and slip them into the card holders.

microSD card

micro-SIM card

NOTE: Some applications may require a microSD card to work normally or may store certain data on it. Therefore, it is recommended that you keep a microSD card installed and not remove or replace it randomly.

3. Align the back cover with the back of the phone and press the cover back into place. Ensure that all the tabs are secure and there are no gaps around the cover.

Charging the battery

Your phone’s battery should have enough power for the phone to turn on, find a signal, and make a few calls. You should fully charge the battery as soon as possible.

If the battery is low, there will be a pop-up message on the screen. As you charge your phone, the lock screen will show you the exact battery level on the status bar.

WARNING!

Use only approved chargers and cables. The use of unapproved accessories could damage your phone or cause the battery to explode.

CAUTION:

Do not change the built-in rechargeable battery in your phone by yourself. If your battery needs to be replaced, please contact Vodafone customer support.

1. Connect the adapter to the charging jack. Ensure that the adapter is inserted with the correct orientation. Do not force the connector into the charging jack.

2. Connect the charger to a standard AC power outlet. If the phone is on, you’ll see a charging icon, such as

3. Disconnect the charger when the battery is fully charged.

NOTE:

If the battery is extremely low, you may be unable to power on the phone even when it is being charged. In this case, try again after charging the phone for at least 20 minutes. Contact the customer service if you still cannot power on the phone after prolonged charging.

or , appear on the status bar.

Extending the battery life

Active applications, screen brightness levels, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi usage and GPS functionality can drain your battery. You can follow the helpful tips below to conserve your battery power:

 Reduce the screen backlight time.  Lower the screen brightness.  Turn Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and auto-sync off when not in use.  Disable the GPS function when not in use. Most applications using this function

will periodically query the GPS satellites for your current location, and each query drains your battery.

Powering on/off

 Press and hold the Power key to turn on your phone.  To power off, press and hold the Power key to open the options menu and

touch Power off > OK.

NOTE: If the phone freezes or takes too long to respond, you can press and hold the Power key for about 20 seconds to restart the phone.

Setting up for the first time

When you first power on your phone after you purchase it or reset it to factory settings (see Backup and Reset

), you need to do some settings before using it.

Locking/unlocking the screen and keys

Your phone allows you to quickly lock the screen and keys (put the phone to sleep mode) when not in use and to turn the screen back on and unlock it when you need

it.

To lock the screen and keys: To quickly turn the screen off and lock the keys, press the Power key.

NOTE:

To save battery power, the phone automatically turns off the screen after some time of inactivity. You will still be able to receive messages and calls while the phone screen is off.

To unlock the screen and keys: Press the Power key to turn the screen on.

Using the touch screen

Your phone’s touch screen enables you to control actions through a variety of touch gestures.

 Touch

When you want to type using the onscreen keyboard, select items on the screen such as the application and settings icons, or press the onscreen buttons, simply touch them with your finger.

 Touch and Hold

To open the available options for an item (for example, a message or link in a web page), touch and hold the item.

 Swipe or Slide

To swipe or slide means to quickly drag your finger vertically or horizontally across the screen.

 Drag

To drag, press and hold your finger with some pressure before you start to move your finger. While dragging, do not release your finger until you have reached the target position.

 Pinch

In some apps (such as Maps, web browser, and Gallery), you can zoom in and out by placing two fingers on the screen at once and pinching them together (to zoom out) or spreading them apart (to zoom in).

 Rotate the screen

For most screens, you can automatically change the screen orientation from portrait to landscape by turning the phone sideways.

NOTE: The auto-rotate feature needs to be enabled for the screen orientation to automatically change. Touch the Home key > > Settings > Display >

When device is rotated and select Rotate the contents of the screen. You can also access the screen rotation control by sliding down the status bar twice and touch Auto-rotate/Portrait.

> Settings > Security > Screen lock.

NOTE: Remember the pattern, PIN or password you set. Otherwise, you will have to upgrade the phone software to use the phone.

Protecting your phone with encryption

You can encrypt all the data on your phone: your accounts, application data, music and other media, downloaded information, and so on. If you do, you must draw an unlock pattern, or enter a numeric PIN or a password each time you power on your phone.

WARNING! Encryption is irreversible. The only way to revert to an unencrypted phone is to perform a factory data reset, which erases all your data.

Encryption provides additional protection in case your phone is stolen, and may be

required or recommended in some organizations. Consult your system administrator before turning it on. In many cases the pattern, PIN or password you set for encryption is controlled by the system administrator.

Before turning on encryption, prepare as follows:

 Set a screen lock pattern, PIN or password.  Charge the battery.  Keep the phone connected to the charger.  Schedule an hour or more for the encryption process: you must not interrupt it

or you will lose some or all of your data.

When you're ready to turn on encryption:

1. Touch the Home key >

2. Read the information about encryption carefully. The ENCRYPT PHONE button is dimmed if your battery is not charged or your

phone's not plugged in. If you change your mind about encrypting your phone, touch the Back key.

WARNING!

If you interrupt the encryption process, you will lose data.

3. Touch ENCRYPT PHONE.

4. Draw your screen lock pattern or enter your PIN or password, and touch NEXT.

5. Touch ENCRYPT PHONE again.

The encryption process starts. Encryption can take an hour or more, during which time your phone may restart several times.

When encryption is completed, you're prompted to draw the unlock pattern, or enter your PIN or password.

Subsequently you must draw your unlock pattern, or enter your PIN or password each time you power on your phone in order to decrypt it.

> Settings > Security > Encrypt phone.
