Installing the nano-SIM / microSDHC
Card
Your phone has two nano-SIM card slots. You can install one
nano-SIM card and one microSDHC card or both nano-SIM cards
into the slots. Power off your phone before installing or removing
the nano-SIM or 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.
NOTE:
Your phone is designed for simultaneous use of two nano-SIM
cards in standby mode. However, the nano-SIM cards cannot be
used simultaneously for calls or the Internet. If one nano-SIM
card is used in a voice call, the other nano-SIM card is not
available.
This situation is caused by the function of the phone and is
independent of the network. Such design can significantly reduce
the power consumption of the phone in standby mode.
14
1. Insert the tip of the tray eject tool into the hole on the
nano-SIM / microSDHC card tray.
2. Pull out the nano-SIM card tray or microSDHC card tray and
place the nano-SIM card or microSDHC card on the tray, as
shown. Then carefully install the tray back.
NOTE:
The two nano-SIM card slots support 4G/3G/2G nano-SIM
cards. When one nano-SIM card is set to connect with 4G/3G
networks, the other installed nano-SIM card can only connect
with 2G networks.
15
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 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.
CAUTION:
Do not change the built-in rechargeable battery in your phone by
16
yourself. The battery can only be changed by ZTE or ZTE
authorized service provider.
