12

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

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

13

with the metal contacts in the battery compartment. Gently
push down on the battery until it clicks into place.

4. Align the back cover with the back of the phone and press the
cover back into place. Ensure that all the tabs are secure and
there are no gaps around the cover.

14

Installing the microSDHC™ Card (Not

A microSDHC card can be installed or removed while the phone
is turned on. You need to unmount the microSDHC card before
removing it.

1. Remove the back cover.

2. Hold your microSDHC card with the metal contacts facing
down and slide it in.

15

NOTE:
Some applications may require a microSDHC card to work
normally or may store certain data on it. Therefore, it is
recommended that you keep a microSDHC card installed and
not remove or replace it randomly.

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.

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.

16

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/micro-USB jack. Ensure
that the adapter is inserted in the correct direction. Do not
force the connector into the charging jack.

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

appear on the status bar.

3. Disconnect the charger when the battery is fully charged.

17

NOTE:

the phone even when it is being charged. In this case, try again
after charging the phone for at least 20 minutes. Contact the
customer service if you still cannot power on the phone after
prolonged charging.

Extending the Battery Life

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 so on. If you have a screen lock on your phone, you must
draw a unlock pattern, or enter a numeric PIN or a password
each time you power on your phone to decrypt it.

31

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 pattern, PIN or password you set for
encryption is controlled by the system administrator.

Before turning on encryption, prepare as follows:

● Set a lock screen pattern, 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. Touch the Home Key > > 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's not plugged in.
If you change your mind about encrypting your phone, touch

the Back Key.

WARNING!

If you interrupt the encryption process, you will lose data.

32

3. Touch ENCRYPT PHONE.

4. Draw your lock screen pattern or enter your PIN or password,
and touch NEXT.

5. Touch ENCRYPT PHONE 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 draw the
unlock pattern, or enter the PIN or password.

Subsequently, you must draw the unlock pattern, enter the PIN or
password each time you power on your phone in order to decrypt
it.
