Let’s get started

Thanks for choosing the ZTE Score (Model # X500). It’s a CDMA2000 1X EVDO Digital Mobile Phone, which we’ll simply call ‘phone’ from now on. Under the Android operating system, the phone supports 3G high-speed internet access, which brings you brand new experiences.

To ensure proper phone operation and longevity, please read this guide carefully. And don’t worry if the pictures we use to demonstrate your phone’s functions look a little

different from what you see on its screen. It’s the functions it shows that matter.

Inserting a memory card

1. Open the memory card cover on the right side of the phone and insert a memory card.

2. Push tightly until the card is installed in the right position and close the card cover.

3. Before you take out the card, please open the card cover and press the card inward to unlock.

Note:

This phone supports memory cards. For details on the compatibility of memory cards, please consult your manufacturer or supplier.

Using the battery

Inserting the battery

1. Open the battery cover on the back of your phone.

2. Align the battery's contact points with those of the phone and gently press the battery

down into place.

3. Replace the battery cover clicking it back into position.

Removing the battery

1. Switch off your phone.

2. Open the battery cover.

3. Lift the battery up and out of your phone.

Charging the battery

The rechargeable Li-ion battery that comes with your phone is ready to use but is not charged. That’s easy to do. We’ll show you how below.

The first three times you use the battery, make sure it’s completely drained before recharging, then recharge it fully. That will help to ensure its optimum performance and a long life.

1. Connect the charger to your phone and plug it into an 110V/220V socket.

2. The battery indicator in the notification bar will scroll up and down to show you it’s charging. Please don’t worry if the phone and charger become warm while charging. That’s completely normal.

3. When fully charged, the battery indicator will stop scrolling.

4. Disconnect the charger from your phone and unplug.
