Getting Started

Installing the nano-SIM Card (Included)

Power off your phone before installing and removing the
nano-SIM card.

NOTE: Your phone will come with the nano-SIM
card already installed.

WARNING! To avoid damage to the phone,
do not use any other kind of SIM card, or any
non-standard nano-SIM card cut from a SIM
card. You can get a standard nano-SIM card
from your service provider.

1. Insert your fingernail into the
bottom left corner of the back
cover and lift it up gently.

2. Hold the nano-SIM card with the cut
corner oriented as shown and slip
them into the card slot.

3. Replace the back cover.

11

Installing the Battery and
a microSDHC™ Card (Not
included)

Power off your phone before installing and
removing the battery. You have the option to
install a microSDHC card of up to 32GB 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. Insert your fingernail into the bottom
left corner of the back cover and lift it
up gently.

2. Insert the battery by aligning the metal contacts on the battery
with the metal 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-lon battery as you can be
burned.

3. Hold your microSDHC card with the metal
contacts facing down and slide it into the
card slot.

12

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

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.

Do not change the built-in rechargeable battery in your phone by
yourself. The battery can only be changed by ZTE or ZTE
authorized service provider.

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
port.

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.

NOTE: If the battery is extremely low, you may be unable to
power on the phone even when it is being charged. Contact
customer service if you still cannot power on the phone after
prolonged charging.

13

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

To power it off, tap and hold the Power/Lock Key to open the



options menu. Tap Power off > OK.

29

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.

30

When you’re ready to turn on encryption:

1. Press 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 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.

4. 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.

31

Protecting Your Phone With Screen
Pinning

so others cannot switch to other apps or access your personal
information.

Turning on Screen Pinning

1. Press the Home Key > > Settings > Security > Screen
pinning.

2. Tap the On/Off switch.

3. If you have set a screen lock, you can tap Ask for unlock
pattern/PIN/password before unpinning. You will need to
draw the pattern or enter the PIN/password to unpin the
screen.
