Getting Started

Installing the Micro-SIM Card (Included)

Power off your phone before installing or removing the micro-SIM card. NOTE: Your phone will come with the SIM card already installed.

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 bottom left corner of the back cover and lift it up gently.

2.Hold the micro-SIM card with the cut corner oriented as shown and slide it into the card slot.

3.Replace the back cover.

Installing a microSDHC Card (Not Included)

The microSDHC card can be installed and removed while the phone is turned on. Unmount the microSDHC card before removing it.

1.Insert your fingernail into the bottom left corner of the back cover and lift it up gently.

2.Hold the microSDHC card with the cut corner oriented as shown and slide it into the card slot.

NOTE: Your phone supports a microSDHC card up to 32 GB.

3.Replace the back 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.

Do not change the built-in rechargeable battery in your phone by yourself. The battery can only be changed by ZTE or ZTE authorized service provider.

Getting Started

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

1.Connect the adapter to the charging port.

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.

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.

This device contains a non-removable battery. Attempting to remove will void your warranty and could cause serious injury. Do not damage, alter, or try to remove the battery.

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 auto-sync, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth 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; each query drains your battery.

Powering Your Phone On/Off

• Press and hold the Power/Lock Key to turn on your phone.

Getting Started

•To turn it off, press and hold the Power/Lock Key to open the options menu. Tap Power off > OK.

NOTE: If the phone freezes or takes too long to respond, press and hold the Power/Lock Key for about 10 seconds to restart the phone.

Setting Up Your Phone for the First Time

When you first power on your phone after you purchase it or reset it to factory settings (see Settings – Personal – Backup & Reset), you may need to set it up before using it.

2.Follow the prompts to set up your Wi-Fi connection, Google account, Google services, and other options.

NOTE: Users with low vision can tap Vision Settings on the initial setup screen to customize accessibility features.

Locking/Unlocking the Screen and Keys

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

Locking the Screen and Keys

To quickly turn the screen off and lock the keys, press the Power/Lock Key.

NOTE: To save battery power, the phone automatically turns off the screen after a certain period of time when you leave it idle. You will still be able to receive messages and calls while the phone screen is off.

Using the Touch Screen

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

•Tap – When you want to type using the on-screen keyboard, select on-screen items (such as application and settings icons), or press on-screen buttons, simply tap them with your finger.

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