A microSDHC card can be installed or removed while the phone is

turned on.

1. Remove the back cover.

2. Hold your microSDHC card with the metal contacts facing

down and slide it in.

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.

14

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 adapter to the charging/micro-USB jack. Ensure

that the adapter is inserted in the correct direction. Do not

force the connector into the charging jack.

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

is on, you’ll see a charging icon ( ) 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 10 minutes. Contact the

15

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.

• Turn Wi-Fi and Bluetooth off when not in use.

• Disable the GPS function when not in use. Most applications

using this function will periodically query the GPS satellites

for your current location; each query drains your battery.

Powering On/Off

• Press and hold the Power Key to turn on your phone.

• To turn it off, press and hold the Power Key and select

Power off from the Phone options menu.

16

Setting Up for the First Time

reset it to factory settings (see Settings – Device – Device

Information on page xx)[O1], you need to do some settings

before using it. Follow the onscreen prompts to complete the

setup.

Locking/Unlocking the Screen and

Keys

Your phone allows you to quickly lock the screen and keys (put

the phone to sleep mode) when not in use and to turn the screen

back on and unlock it when you need it.

To lock the screen and keys:

To quickly turn the screen off and lock the keys, press the Power

Key.

NOTE:

To save battery power, the phone automatically turns off the

screen after a certain period of time when you leave it idle. You

will still be able to receive messages and calls while the phone

screen is off.

To unlock the screen and keys:

1. Press the Power Key to turn the screen on.

17

2. Slide towards to unlock the screen and keys, or

slide towards to launch the Camera app.

NOTE:

If you have set a passcode (see Personalizing – Protecting Your

Phone With Phone Lock on page xx[O2]), you’ll need to enter the

passcode to unlock your phone.

Using the Touch Screen

Your phone’s touch screen enables you to control actions

through a variety of touch gestures.

• Touch

When you want to type using the onscreen keyboard, select

items on the screen such as the application icons, or press

the onscreen buttons, simply touch them with your finger.

• Touch and Hold

To get more available options for an item (for example, an

accented letter from the onscreen keyboard), touch and hold

the item.

• Swipe or Slide

To swipe or slide means to quickly drag your finger vertically

or horizontally across the screen.

• Drag

To drag, press and hold your finger with some pressure

before you start to move your finger. While dragging, do not

18

release your finger until you have reached the target position.

• Pinch

In some apps (such as Browser, and Gallery), you can zoom

in and out by placing two fingers on the screen at once and

pinching them together (to zoom out) or spreading them apart

(to zoom in).

• Rotate the screen

Under many circumstances, you can automatically change

the screen orientation from portrait to landscape by turning

the phone sideways.
