Installing the micro-UIM Card and
Battery
Power off your phone and remove the battery before installing or removing the micro-SIM card. And power off your phone before removing or replacing the battery.
WARNING!
To avoid damage to the phone, do not use any other kind of SIM
14
cards, or any non-standard micro-UIM card cut from a SIM card. You can get a standard micro-UIM card from your service provider.
1.Insert your fingernail into the slot at the bottom right of the back cover and lift it up gently.
2.Hold the micro-SIM card with the cut corner oriented as shown and slip it into the card holder.
15
3.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.
4.Align the back cover with the back of the phone and press the cover back into place. Ensure that all the tabs are secure and there are no gaps around the cover.
16
Installing the microSDHC™ Card (Not Included)
A microSDHC card can be installed or removed while the phone is turned on. You need to 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.
17
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. 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 each time you wake up your phone.
WARNING!
18
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/micro-USB jack. Ensure that the adapter is inserted with the correct orientation. Do not use force.
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:
19
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 the customer service if you still cannot power on the phone after prolonged charging.
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.
