Installing the micro-SIM Cards
Your phone has two micro-SIM card slots. You can install one or
both micro-SIM cards into the slots. The micro-SIM cards can be
installed or removed while the phone is turned on.
WARNING!
To avoid damage to the phone, do not use any other kind of SIM

15
cards, or any non-standard micro-SIM card cut from a SIM card.
You can get a standard micro-SIM card from your service
provider.
NOTE:
Your phone is designed for simultaneous use of two micro-SIM
cards in the standby mode. However, the micro-SIM cards
cannot be used simultaneously for calls or the Internet. If one
micro-SIM card is used in a voice call, the other micro-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 the standby mode.
1. Insert the tip of the tray eject tool into the holes on the
micro-SIM card trays 1 and 2.

2. Pull out the micro-SIM card trays and place the micro-SIM
cards on the trays, as shown. Then carefully install the trays
back.
NOTE:
The micro-SIM card tray 1 supports WCDMA/GSM micro-SIM
cards, while tray 2 supports GSM micro-SIM cards.

Installing the microSDHC™ Card (Not
Included)
A microSDHC card can be installed or removed while the phone
is turned on. You need to unmount the microSDHC card before
removing it.
1. Insert the tip of the tray eject tool into the hole on the
microSDHC card tray.
2. Pull out the tray and place the card on the tray, as shown.
Then carefully install the tray back.

19
NOTE:
Some applications may require a microSDHC card to work
normally or may store certain data on it. Therefore, it is
recommended that you keep a microSDHC card installed and
not remove or replace it randomly.
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 screen will tell you the
exact battery level each time you wake up your phone.

20
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 remove or change the built-in rechargeable battery in your
phone by yourself. The battery can only be changed by ZTE or
ZTE authorised service provider.
1. Connect the adapter to the charging jack. Ensure that the
adapter is inserted in the correct direction. Do not force the
connector into the charging jack.
2. Connect the charger to a standard AC wall outlet. If the phone
is on, you’ll see a charging icon, such as or , appear on
the status bar.
