Remove the back cover to access the battery compartment and
storage card and SIM card slots.
With the phone switched off, hold your phone securely with the
front facing down.
Starting from the small opening at the bottom of the phone, lift
the back cover and remove it completely.
Replacing the back cover
Please handle the back cover with care since your phone’s antennas are placed
underneath it. Avoid twisting or bending the back cover.

secure the back cover tightly to the phone.
Align the back cover onto the phone’s top panel.
Press all sides of the back cover towards the phone.
You’ll hear clicks when the small tabs underneath the back cover

6 Basics
Battery
Your phone uses a rechargeable battery. Please use only original
batteries and accessories that came with your phone or replacements
that we recommend.
How long the battery can last before it needs recharging depends on
how you use your phone. Among these are the phone features and
accessories you use (for example, leaving your Bluetooth connection
always on uses more power). Long phone calls and frequent web
browsing use up much battery. Also, consider your location: poor
signal strength from your mobile network and extreme temperature
make the battery work harder.
Removing the battery
When you take your phone out from the box, make sure to peel off the thin film
of the battery that’s inside your phone. Pull the flap of the film to release the
battery.
1. Take the back cover off. See “Removing the back cover”.
2. Lift the battery from the groove at the top of the battery
compartment.

Basics 7
Inserting the battery
Insert the battery (with its exposed copper contacts first) into the
battery compartment. Then gently push the battery into place.
Charging the battery
The battery is partially charged when shipped. Before you turn on
and start using your phone, it is recommended that you charge
the battery. Some batteries perform best after several full charge/
discharge cycles.
Only the power adapter and USB sync cable provided with your phone
must be used to charge the battery.
Do not remove the battery from the phone while you are charging it using
the power or car adapter.


1. From the adapters that are included in your device package,
select and insert the appropriate adapter to the AC charger.
You can check the wall socket to know which adapter to use.
2. Connect one end of the USB cable to the AC charger.

8 Basics
3. Connect the smaller end of the USB cable to the USB Connector
on the left side of your wireless device.
4. Plug in the AC charger to a wall socket to start charging the
battery.
As the battery is being charged, the notification LED shows a solid
orange light. The light turns to solid green when the phone is fully
charged.
When you charge the battery while the phone is on, the charging
battery icon is displayed in your phone’s status bar. After the
battery has been fully charged, the charging battery icon turns to a
full battery icon .
As a safety precaution, the battery stops charging when it overheats.

10 Basics
Swipe or slide To swipe or slide means to quickly drag your finger
vertically or horizontally across the screen.
Drag Press and hold your finger with some pressure before you
start to drag. While dragging, do not release your finger
until you have reached the target position.
Flick Flicking the screen is similar to swiping, except that you
need to swipe your finger in light, quicker strokes. This
finger gesture is always in a vertical direction, such as when
flicking the contacts or message list.
Rotate For most screens, you can automatically change the
screen orientation from portrait to landscape by turning
the phone sideways. When entering text, you can turn the
phone sideways to bring up a bigger keyboard.
Pinch In some apps, like Gallery or the web browser, you can
“pinch” the screen using two fingers (for example, thumb
and index finger) to zoom in or zoom out when viewing a
picture or a web page.

Getting started
Setting up your phone for the first time
When you switch on your phone for the first time, you’ll be asked to
set up your phone. You can choose your language, how you want to
connect to the Internet, and whether you want your current location
to be automatically detected.
If you still have personal contacts and calendar events stored on your
old phone, you can easily transfer them to your new phone through
Bluetooth as well.
Just follow the onscreen instructions and you’ll be up and running
with your phone in no time.
Some features that need to connect to the Internet such as location-based
services and auto-sync of your online accounts may incur extra data fees from
your mobile operator. Don’t worry. You can enable or disable them in your
phone’s settings as you go along later on. To find out how, see the Settings
chapter.
Home screen
Your Home screen is where you make your phone your own. It comes
with a weather clock widget that shows the time and weather in your
current location.

they’re always just a tap away.

Extended Home screen
As you start to do more things with your phone, you might find that
one Home screen is not enough. No problem. You can use up to six
extra screens. It should be plenty.
Slide your finger horizontally to the left or right and you’ll discover
more space for adding icons, widgets, and more.
Press HOME to return to the main Home screen (that is, the center
home screen).
