Installing the nano-SIM Card and the Battery
Power off your phone before installing or removing the nano-SIM

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

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

16

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
