Installing a microSDHC card (not included)

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

powered on. Unmount the microSDHC card before removing or replacing it.

1. Remove the back cover.

2. Hold your microSDHC card with the metal contacts facing

down and slide it into the card slot.

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

Charging the battery

Your phone’s battery should have enough power for the phone to turn on,

nd 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! Use only ZTE-approved chargers and cables. The

use of unapproved accessories could damage your phone

or cause the battery to explode.

2. Connect the charger to a standard AC wall outlet. If the phone

is on, you’ll see a charging icon, such as or ,appear in the

Status Bar.

3. Disconnect the charger when the battery is fully charged.

GETTING STARTEDGETTING STARTED

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