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

The microSDHC card can be installed and removed while the phone is turned on. 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.

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.

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 on the lock screen. See Locking/Unlocking the

Screen and Keys.

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 yourself. The battery can only be changed by ZTE or ZTE authorized service provider.

1. Connect the adapter to the charging jack. Ensure that the adapter is inserted with the correct orientation. 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.

NOTE:

If the battery is extremely low, you may be unable to power on

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

Extending the Battery Life

options menu. Touch Power off > OK. NOTE:
