from the bottom.
For installation, follow these steps: let the metal end of

working hours of battery vary with the network status, working
environment and the use of different methods.
2.2 Network connection
2.2.1 SIM card
Your network provider will provide a plug-in SIM card for you,
which makes you have access to the digital GSM network. You
need to insert the effective SIM card in the phone before use it.

call records will be recorded on the metal plane of the SIM card,
also recorded in the card are the names you stored and received
in the address book, numbers and short messages. You can
remove your SIM card, or add to another GSM phone (new
mobile will identify the SIM card automatically).
In order to prevent loss and damage to the information in the
card, you should avoid touching the metal plane, and keep the
SIM card away from the electric and magnetic place. Once the
SIM card is damaged, you will not be able to enter the GSM
network.
Warning: Shut down the phone before you remove the SIM card.

operators, the upper is No.1 SIM card network operators, the
lower is No.2; you can enter the "system setting → mode
setting" to change the SIM card into various modes.

identification number) code for encryption protection. If this
feature is selected, you must enter a PIN1code every time you
boot the handset, so that you can unlock the SIM card, then send
or receive calls. Users can remove the SIM card protection, and

remove it, first enter the security settings in main menu (the
phone password is needed, default password is 1234), choose to
close “SIM card 1 or SIM card 2 lock ", enter "PIN1 code" to
confirm.
In case of three consecutive input errors, your SIM card will be
locked by the network, mobile will ask for PUK1 code.
Note: Your network providers of SIM card will set a standard
PIN1 (4 to 8 digits), you should change it to your private
password as soon as possible. PIN1 and PUK1 code are offered
by the GSM network provider with GSM card.
2.2.4 Handset lock
In order to prevent illegal use of your mobile, you can set up a
password. If this feature is chosen, you have to enter a PIN1code
(if you already have a PIN code protection) every time you boot
the handset, then you must enter a phone password, so that you
can unlock the phone and send or receive calls. Users can
remove the phone password, but you can not prevent illegal use
of the phone.
To remove it, first enter the security settings in main menu
settings, and choose to close “lock phone “(input the phone
password 1122) to confirm.
For example, if the phone password is set to 1234, input the
following: 1234

9
phone lock", when the phone is started up, you must enter a
password before you continue to use the phone, or can only dial
112. If you have forgotten your phone password, you must
contact your local retailers or authorized service centers to
unlock your phone password.
2.2.5 Network connection
If the SIM card is declassified successfully, the phone will
automatically search for your registration network or other
available local networks (on the screen "searching network").

screen center. At this point, your phone goes to standby status.
