Installing the nano-SIM Card and microSDHC™ Card
You can use one nano-SIM card and one microSDHC card (optional,
not included). Power off your phone before installing or replacing
the nano-SIM card or the microSDHC card.
WARNING!
To avoid damage to the phone, do not use any other kind of SIM
cards, or any non-standard nano-SIM card cut from a SIM card. You
can get a standard nano-SIM card from your service provider.
1. With the phone powered off, remove the back cover via the
notch at the bottom corner of the phone, and then remove the
battery via the notch below it.
2. Insert the nano-SIM card, with the cut corner first and the goldcolored contacts facing down, into its slot.
15
3. Insert the microSDHC card (sold separately), with the goldcolored contacts facing down, into its slot.
16
4. Insert the battery, making sure the connectors align. Gently push
down on the battery until it clicks into place.
5. Replace the back cover.
Removing the nano-SIM Card and microSDHC Card
1. With the phone powered off, open the back cover and remove
the battery.
2. Press the soft blocks that keep the cards in place and slide the
nano-SIM card or microSDHC card out.
17
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.
WARNING!
Use only ZTE-approved chargers and USB cables. The use of
unapproved accessories could damage your phone or cause the
battery to explode.
1. Connect the adapter to the charging jack. Ensure that the
adapter is inserted in the correct direction.
18
2. Connect the charger to a standard AC wall outlet. If the phone is
on, you’ll see a charging icon, such as or , appear in the
status bar of the internal screen.
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 customer service
if you still cannot power on the phone after prolonged charging.
19
Extending the Battery Life
Active applications, screen brightness levels, Bluetooth usage, and
GPS functionality can drain your battery. You can follow these
helpful tips to conserve your battery power:
Reduce the screen backlight time.
Lower the screen brightness.
Turn Bluetooth off when not in use.
Disable location service when not in need. Most applications
using location service will periodically request your current
location through GPS, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or mobile networks and
each query drains your battery.

Protecting Your Phone With Encryption
You can encrypt all the data on your phone: your application data,
music and other media, downloaded information, and so on. If you
do, you must enter a numeric PIN 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.
Before turning on encryption, prepare as follows:
Set a screen lock PIN.
Charge the battery.
Keep the phone connected to the charger.
26
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. From the home screen, select Menu > Settings > Phone
settings > Security > Encrypt phone.
2. Read the information about encryption carefully.
WARNING!
If you interrupt the encryption process, you will lose data.
3. Press the OK key.
4. Enter your screen lock PIN and press the OK key.
5. Press the OK key 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 enter your
screen lock PIN and press the OK key.
Subsequently you must enter your screen lock PIN and press the OK
key each time you power on your phone in order to use it.
