Volume Up/Down key
Press the Volume Up/Down key to increase or decrease the volume.
Note: In this manual, “Pressing a certain key” means pressing and releasing the key; “Long pressing a
certain key” means pressing and holding this key for 2 seconds or longer.
III. Getting started
1. Battery
In the original state, the battery is charged with about 50% of electricity, so it can be used immediately after
unpacking. For the first three charges, fully charge it after it is fully discharged before using. In this way, the
battery can achieve the best performance.
1.1 Charging the battery
When your handset is in charging mode, Mobile phone screen icon area power indicates the charging icon
symbols show for lightning; if your handset is powered off while charging your battery, a charging indicator will
appear on the screen. In case your handset is overused when the battery level is low, it will take a period of
time for the charging indication symbol to appear on the screen after the charging process starts.
When the battery level indicator in the icon area of the screen is fully displayed and does not blink any
longer, the charging process is completed. If you are charging with your handset powered off, an indicator of
charging completion will also be displayed on the screen. Generally, the charging process takes 4 hours. It
is normal for the battery, handset and charger to get hot during charging.
After charging, disconnect the connection between the AC power outlet, handset and charger.
Note: While charging, the phone must be in a well-ventilated place with a temperature between -10-+55,
and you must use only the charger provided by the manufacturer. Use of unapproved chargers may not only
cause danger, but also violate the manufacturer’s warrantee clause. If the temperature is too high or too low
while charging, the handset will automatically give an alarm and stop charging, so as not to damage the
battery or cause danger.
1.2 USB connected

the names, phone numbers and SMS messages you stored in the phonebook of the SIM card. To avoid
losing or damaging the information stored in your SIM card, do not touch the metal contact surface and keep
your SIM card clear of electro-magnetic fields.
2.2 Inserting and removing your SIM card

2.4 Turning on or off your handset

If you have turned your handset on without inserting the SIM card, the handset will prompt you to “Insert SIM
card.”
After inserting the SIM card, the following prompts will appear in sequence on the screen:
Enter the phone lock code – if you have set a phone lock code.
Enter the PIN code – if you have set the SIM card code.
Search – Your handset will keep searching until an appropriate network connection is found.
2.5 Unblocking your SIM card
To prevent fraudulent use of your SIM card, it is protected by PIN (Personal Identification Number) code
encryption. With this option selected, if you have set the PIN code protection, you must enter the PIN code
each time you turn your handset on; in this way, you can unblock your SIM card and use your handset
normally.
The user may turn off the SIM card lock; but in this case, the fraudulent use of your SIM card can not be
prevented.
Enter the PIN code, use the Clear key to clear a mistake, and press the left soft key “Ok” to terminate. For
example, if the PIN is set to 1234, enter: 1, 2, 3, 4, and then press “Ok.”
If you enter your PIN incorrectly three times, your SIM card will be blocked by the network, and your handset
will ask you for the PUK code.
Note: Your network provider will set a standard PIN (4 to 8 digits) number for your SIM card. You should
change it to your private code as soon as possible.
2.6 Unlocking your handset

8
To prevent fraudulent use of your handset, you can set the phone lock code to protect it. When this feature
is selected, you must enter the phone lock code to unlock your handset for normal use of it. The user may
turn off the phone lock, but, in this case, the fraudulent use of your handset can not be prevented.
By dragging the Unlock icon on the screen onto the concerned menu icon, you can unlock your handset and
enter the corresponding menu;
Enter the phone lock code, use the Clear key to clear a mistake, and press “Ok” to terminate.
For example, if the phone lock code is set to 1122, enter: 1, 1, 2, 2, and then press “Ok.”
If you forget your phone lock code, you must contact the local authorized service center to unlock your
phone lock code.
Note: The default phone lock code is set to 1122.
2.7. Connecting to network
After your SIM card is unblocked successfully, your handset will search for available networks automatically
(displaying “Finding…” on the screen). Once contacted, the name of the network provider will appear in the
center of the upper part of the text and graphic area. At this point, your handset is connected to the service
network.
Note: If the prompt “Emergency call only” (Emergency) appears on the screen, it means that you are out of
the normal network coverage (service area), or that your SIM card fails to pass verification, but you can still
make emergency calls depending on the signal strength.

IV. Basic functions
1. Making calls
When the name of the network provider appears on the screen, you may make or answer phone calls. The
information bar on the top of the display screen shows the signal strength of the network.

improve the call quality.

phone number, use the Clear key to erase one digit at a time. While pressing the Send key, an animation for
making a call will appear on the screen. The call status information will appear on the screen if the other side
is answering your call.

complete phone number, and then press the “Send” key.

the indicator bar for the network signal strength on the upper left corner of your handset’s screen). If your
network provider provides no roaming service in this area, “Emergency call only” (Emergency) will be
displayed on the screen. If you are within the network coverage, you can make emergency calls even if you
have no SIM card.
