Getting Started

Installing the Nano-SIM Card and microSDHC Card

You can use one nano-SIM card and one microSDHC card (optional, not included). Power o 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 a non-standard nano-SIM card cut from a

SIM card. You can obtain a standard nano-SIM card from your

service provider.

1. With the phone powered o, 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 rst and the gold-colored contacts facing down, into the slot above the battery

compartment.

3. Insert the microSDHC card (sold separately), with the gold-colored contacts facing down,

into its slot.

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.

GETTING STARTED

Charging the Battery

Your phone’s battery should have enough power for the phone to turn on, nd 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 screen will show you the exact battery level on the Status Bar.

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

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 it may be required or recommended by some organizations. Consult your system administrator before turning on encryption. In many cases, the system administrator controls

the pattern, PIN, or password set for encryption. Before turning on encryption, prepare as follows:

• Set a screen lock pattern, PIN, or password.

PERSONALIZING

• Charge the battery, and keep the phone connected to the charger.

• Schedule an hour or more for the encryption process, because 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, tap Settings Security

Encrypt phone.

2. Read the information about encryption carefully. You will

not be able to proceed if your battery is not charged or your phone is not connected to the charger. If you change your mind about encrypting your phone, press the Back key.

Warning! If you interrupt the encryption process, you will lose

your data.

3. Tap ENCRYPT PHONE.

4. Draw your screen lock pattern or enter your PIN or password.

5. Tap ENCRYPT PHONE again.

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

times and MUST NOT be interrupted.

6. When encryption is completed and a prompt appears on

the screen, draw your unlock pattern or enter your PIN or password.

From this point on, each time you power on your phone, you must draw your unlock pattern or enter your PIN or password

to decrypt the phone.

PERSONALIZING

Protecting Your Phone With Screen Pinning

You can use the screen pinning feature to keep an app in view, so others cannot switch to other apps or access your

personal information.

Turning On Screen Pinning

1. From the home screen, tap Settings Security Screen pinning.

2. Tap the On/O switch.

3. If you have set a screen lock and want to require it before unpinning the screen, tap the switch to turn on Ask for

unlock pattern / PIN / password before unpinning.

Pinning a Screen

1. Ensure that screen pinning is turned on.

2. Open the app you want to keep in view.

3. Press the Recent apps key.

4. If there are many app tabs, swipe up to nd on the front-most tab.

5. Tap GOT IT.

Unpinning the Screen
