Android is a trademark of Google, Inc. All other trademarks and copyrights remain the property of their respective owners.

During the installation process of some third-party applications, issues of repeated restart or abnormal operation of software might be caused by incompatibility of the third-party applications rather than the phone.

Installation of a third-party ROM or non-official operating system (commonly called ‘rooting’ your device) might bring unwanted security risks and may make your device inoperable. ZTE Corporation will not be liable for the security threats brought by upgrade of the operating system.

If you have set a device PIN, Pattern or Password lock and have lost or forgotten your code there are two possible solutions.

1. If you have setup a Google Account (your G Mail account) then enter the wrong pin/ pattern/password 5 times to be prompted for your Google Account Password to open your device.

2. If you have not set up a Google Account in your handset then perform a factory reset: Power Off your device. Press and hold the Volume Up key, then press the power key. Select Recovery Mode > Factory Reset

Inserting and Removing the SIM card

You must insert at least One valid Nano-SIM card into your phone before use.

To insert One or Two Nano-SIM cards into your phone follow these steps.

1. Insert the ejector pin into the hole on

the SIM tray. Firmly press the pin until the tray pops out.

2. Put the nano-SIM card into the tray.

3. Insert the SIM tray back into the phone

carefully. Ensure that the SIM(s) stay in their positions in the tray and do not force the tray back into position especially if it is misaligned. Remember that there are very small contacts inside the slot that are necessary for your SIMs to work in the handset.

Inserting and Removing Memory card (optional)

Insert the memory card into the card slot as shown below:

The Back cover is removable and snaps back into place after you have installed the microSD memory card into your device.

TIPS

A memory card is an optional accessory and is not included with your device. The phone accepts microSD cards up to 32GB with FAT32 format. The addition of a memory card is mainly used for personal storage such as Photos, Music and Videos. The installation of Apps to the SD card is limited and may not be available.

Charging the Battery

Insert the charger lead carefully. Ensure the plug is inserted with the correct orientation. Do not force the connector into the charger jack. Disconnect the charger when fully charged.

When the phone is on the charging icon / is shown on the status bar.

How much charge have you got?

If the battery is low, there will be a pop-up message on the screen. During charging the charge level is shown on the lock screen.

TIP: You can also show the charge level on the top bar. Go to Settings > Battery and check the Percentage box.

Getting to know your phone

Screen control

There’s more to a touch screen than simple touching:

- Touch: Touch items on screen to open apps, select options or use the keyboard.

- Swipe or slide: Slide your finger across the screen to flick between ‘pages’ or scroll

- Touch & hold: Touch & hold (long press) on some items to get additional menus.

- Drag: Drag items such as App icons and widgets to move them on the screen.

- Switch between landscape mode and portrait mode: Rotate your phone sideways to

view in landscape mode in some applications. This can be useful to enlarge the keyboard for example, or view landscape pictures in Gallery.

- Pinch zoom: In some apps (such as Maps, Browser, and Gallery) use two fingers on the screen spreading them apart to zoom in and pinching to zoom out.

Volume Controls

The volume keys work in different ways depending on which application or menu you are in.

Lock screen or Home Screen

Volume keys control the Ring Volume and the Priority Interruptions panel. Move the volume all the way down to enable Vibrate mode with handset interruptions controlled by All, Priority, or None.

During a Call

Media Apps and Games

Alarm Setting Application If you are setting an Alarm, pressing the Volume keys will change the Alarm volume, so be careful not to mute your Alarm setting as this will over ride the system volume and the Alarm will not sound even if your System volume is on 100%. The Alarm App independently sets its own volume. You can also review this under Alarm > Options > Settings.
