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. Place your ﬁ nger in the slot at the bottom of the back cover to lift and remove the cover.

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

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

Charging the Battery

When you ﬁ rst 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.

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.
