1.2 Getting started......................................
1.2.1 Set-up
Inserting or removing the Nano/microSD card
A Nano card is required to make phone calls and use cellular
networks. If you have a Nano card, insert it before setting up
the phone. Do not attempt to insert other SIM types like mini or
micro-SIM cards, as you may damage your phone.
Power off your phone before inserting or removing the Nano/
microSD card.
Charging the battery
You are advised to fully charge the battery. Charging status
is indicated by a percentage displayed on screen while the
phone is powered off. The percentage increases as the phone
is charged.
To reduce power consumption and energy waste,
disconnect your charger when the battery is fully
charged; switch off Wi-Fi, GPS, Bluetooth or apps
running in the background when not needed. In
Settings you can also lower the brightness of the
screen, and shorten the length of time before the
screen goes to sleep.
1.2.2 Power on your phone
To turn your phone on, hold down the Power key until the
phone powers on. It will take a few seconds before the screen
lights up. Unlock your phone with a swipe, PIN, password or
pattern before the Home screen can display if you’ve set a
screen lock in Settings.
If you do not know your PIN code or if you have forgotten it,
contact your network carrier. Do not leave your PIN code with
your phone. Store this information in a safe place when not
in use.
