Installing the Battery and a microSDHC Card

Power off your phone before installing or replacing the battery. You have the option to install a microSDHC card of up to 32 GB to expand your phone’s storage capacity. The microSDHC card can be installed and removed while the phone is turned on. Unmount the microSDHC card before removing it.

1. Place your ﬁnger in the slot at the bottom of the back cover to lift and remove the cover.

2. Insert the battery by aligning the contacts on the battery with the gold contacts in the battery compartment. Gently push down on the battery until it clicks into place.

WARNING! Do not handle a damaged or leaking

Li-Ion battery as you can be burned.

3. Hold your microSDHC card with the metal contacts facing down and slide it into the microSDHC card slot until you hear a click.

4. Press the cover gently back into place until you hear a click.

Charging the Battery

When you ﬁrst get your new phone you’ll need to charge the battery. If the battery is low, there will be a pop-up message on the screen. As you charge your phone, the screen will tell you the exact battery level each time you wake up your phone.

WARNING! Use only ZTE-approved chargers and

cables. The use of unapproved accessories could damage your phone or cause the battery to explode.

Connect the adapter to the charging port. Ensure that the adapter is inserted with the correct orientation. Do not force the connector into the charging port.

Getting Started

2. Connect the charger to a standard AC wall outlet. If the phone is on, you’ll see a charging icon, such as

, 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 10 minutes. Contact customer service if you still cannot power on the phone after prolonged charging.

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/O

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

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

4. If you have a Google™ account, tap Existing to sign in. Tap New to create a Google account or tap Not now to set up an account later.

5. Conﬁgure the Google location options and tap Next.

6. Enter your name, which the phone uses to personalize some apps, and then tap

7. You will be prompted to accept the Google terms of service. Tap Next to continue.

8. Tap Finish to complete the setup.

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.

To lock the screen and keys:

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

To unlock the screen and keys:

1. Press the Power/Lock Key to turn the screen on.

2. Press and hold a blank area of the screen.

NOTE: If you have set an unlock pattern, PIN,

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.

IMPORTANT: If you forget the pattern you set, try

ﬁve times and tap Forgot Pattern to sign in to the Google account you have added on the phone and reset the screen lock. You will need an active Internet connection. You can also upgrade the phone software (see Settings – System – About Phone).

Protecting Your Phone With Encryption

You can encrypt all the data on your phone: Google accounts, application data, music and other media, downloaded information, and more. If you do, you must enter a numeric PIN or 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 may be required or recommended in some organizations. Consult your system administrator before turning it on. In many cases the PIN or password you set for encryption is controlled by the system administrator.

Before turning on encryption, prepare as follows:

• Set a lock screen PIN or password.

• Charge the battery.

• Keep the phone connected to the charger.

• 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. Press the Home Key > Apps icon > Settings > Security > Encrypt phone.

2. Read the information about encryption carefully. The Encrypt phone button is dimmed if your

battery is not charged or your phone is not plugged in. If you change your mind about encrypting your phone, press the Back Key.

WARNING! If you interrupt the encryption

process, you will lose data.

3. Tap Encrypt phone.

Enter your lock screen PIN or password and tap Next.

5. Tap Encrypt phone again.

The encryption process starts and displays its progress. Encryption can take an hour or more, during which time your phone may restart several times.

When encryption is complete, you’ll be prompted to enter your PIN or password.

Subsequently, you must enter your PIN or password each time you power on your phone to decrypt it.
