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

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

very small contacts inside the slot that are
necessary for your SIMs to work in the
handset.

Important Notes:
1. Two SIM cards cannot support 4G/3G networks at the same time. When one SIM card
supports 4G/3G network, the other SIM card supports GSM only.
2. Only one card supports data service. When one card is used for data service, the other
card cannot be used for data.
A Nano-SIM card is a small SIM card. Do not use a micro-SIM or SIM card adaptor which
may damage your device.
6
Insert the memory card
Insert the memory card into the card slot as shown. The microSD card takes the Nano-SIM
number 2 slot position leaving your handset as a Single Nano-SIM handset.
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.

- 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.

in.

controlled by All, Priority, or None.

sets its own volume. You can also review this under Alarm > Options > Settings.
