Installing the nano-SIM Card and the Battery

Power off your phone before installing or removing the nano-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 cards, 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 slot at the bottom left of the back cover and lift it up gently.
13
2. Hold the nano-SIM card with the cut corner oriented as shown and slip them into the card holder. If the battery is installed, remove it first.
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.
14
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.

Installing the microSDHC Card (Not Included)

A microSDHC card can be installed or 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.
15
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.
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 adaptor to the charging jack. Ensure that the adaptor is inserted with the correct orientation. Do not force the connector into the charging jack.
16
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.

Protecting Your Phone With Encryption

You can encrypt all the data on your phone: your accounts, application data, music and other media, downloaded information, and so on. If you do, you must enter a numeric PIN or a 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 and make sure the battery level is 80% or
above.
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. Touch the Home key > > Settings > Security > Encrypt phone.
2. Read the information about encryption carefully.
32
The ENCRYPT PHONE button is dimmed if your battery is not charged or your phone's not plugged in.
If you change your mind about encrypting your phone, touch
the Back key.
WARNING !
If you interrupt the encryption process, you will lose data.
3. Touch ENCRYPT PHONE.
4. Enter your lock screen PIN or password and touch NEXT.
5. Touch ENCRYPT PHONE again. The encryption process starts. Encryption can take an hour or
more, during which time your phone may restart several times. When encryption is completed, you're prompted to enter your
PIN or password. Subsequently you must enter your PIN or password each time
you power on your phone in order to decrypt it.
