Installing the nano-SIM Card(s) and the
microSDHC™ Card
The microSDHC card (optional, not included) can be installed or
removed while the phone is turned on. You need to unmount the
microSDHC card before removing it. See Using the microSDHC
Card as Portable or Phone Storage.

13
WARNING!
To avoid damage to the phone, do not use any other kind of SIM
cards, or any non-standard nano-SIM card cut from a SIM card.
You can get a standard nano-SIM card from your service
provider.
NOTE:
Your phone is designed for simultaneous use of two nano-SIM
cards in standby mode. However, the nano-SIM cards cannot be
used simultaneously for calls or the Internet. If one nano-SIM
card is used in a voice call, the other nano-SIM card is not
available. This situation is caused by the function of the phone
and is independent of the network. Such design can significantly
reduce the power consumption of the phone in standby mode.
1. Insert your fingernail into the bottom of the back cover and lift
it up gently.

14
2. Hold the nano-SIM card(s) and the microSDHC card with the
cut corner oriented as shown and slip them into the card
slots.
NOTE:
The two nano-SIM slots support 4G/3G/2G networks. When
one nano-SIM card is set to connect with 4G/3G networks,
the other installed nano-SIM card can only connect with 2G
networks.
3. Replace the back cover.
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.

If the battery is low, there will be a pop-up message on the
screen. As you charge your phone, the lock screen will show you
the exact battery level on the status bar.
WARNING!
Use only ZTE-approved chargers and cables. The use of
unapproved accessories could damage your phone or cause the
battery to explode.
CAUTION:
Do not change the built-in rechargeable battery in your phone by
yourself. The battery can only be changed by ZTE or ZTE
authorized service provider.
1. Connect the adapter to the charging jack. Ensure that the
adapter is inserted with the correct orientation. Do not force
the connector into the charging jack.

16
2. Connect the charger to a standard AC power outlet. If the
phone is on, you’ll see a charging icon, such as or ,
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 20 minutes. Contact the
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, Bluetooth and auto-sync 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, and each query drains your battery.
Powering On/Off
Press and hold the Power key to turn on your phone.
To power off, press and hold the Power key to open the
options menu and touch Power off > OK.

17
NOTE:
If the phone freezes or takes too long to respond, you can press
and hold the Power key for about 10 seconds to restart the
phone.
Setting Up for the First Time
When you first power on your phone after you purchase it or
reset it to factory settings (see Backup and Reset), you need to
do some settings before using it.
Touch the language field to select the language. Then follow the
prompts to set up Wi-Fi, Google account, Google location and
other options.
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 some time of inactivity. You will still be able to
receive messages and calls while the phone screen is off.

18
To unlock the screen and keys:
Press the Power key to turn the screen on.
If you have set up a screen lock, you’ll need to unlock the phone
by swiping up on the screen, drawing a pattern, or entering a PIN
or password. See Protecting Your Phone With Screen Locks for
more information.
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 and settings
icons, or press the onscreen buttons, simply touch them with
your finger.
Touch and Hold
To open the available options for an item (for example, a
message or link in a web page), touch and hold the item.

19
Swipe or Slide

or horizontally across the screen.
Drag

before you start to move your finger. While dragging, do not
release your finger until you have reached the target position.

20
Pinch
In some apps (such as Maps, web 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
For most screens, you can automatically change the screen
orientation from portrait to landscape by turning the phone
sideways.
NOTE:
The auto-rotate feature needs to be enabled for the screen
orientation to automatically change. Touch the Home key >
Settings > Display > When device is rotated and select
