Installing the SIM Card and Battery
Switch off your phone before installing or replacing the battery or

Notice on the 4G LTE SIM card:
This phone requires a 4G LTE SIM card to connect to the 4G LTE
network. Prior to turning on the phone please insert the 4G LTE
SIM card as instructed below. This 4G LTE SIM card will only
work with this phone. Once the card has been inserted, do not
remove it!

15
If your 4G LTE SIM card is ever separated from the phone or
damaged, your phone will not fully function. If you experience any
issues with your phone, contact customer service at
1-888-944-9400 or visit your nearest U.S. Cellular®retail location.
1. Insert your fingernail into the slot at the bottom left of the back
cover and lift it up gently.
2. Hold the 4G LTE SIM card with its cut corner oriented as
shown and slip it into the card holder.

16
3. Align the connectors on the phone and the battery and slide
the battery into the compartment (1). Then gently press the
battery down until it is secured (2).
4. Align the back cover with the back of the phone and press the
cover back into place. Ensure that all the tabs are secure and
there are no gaps around the cover.

17
Installing the microSDHC Card
The microSDHC card can be installed and removed while the
phone is turned on. Unmount the microSDHC card before
removing it.
1. Remove the back cover.
2. Hold your microSDHC card with the metal contacts facing
down and slide it into the microSDHC card slot.

18
NOTE:
The microSDHC card is sold separately.
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.
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 screen will tell you the
exact battery level each time you wake up your phone.

19
WARNING!
Use only ZTE-approved chargers and cables. The use of
unapproved accessories could damage your phone or cause the
battery to explode.
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.
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
customer service if you still cannot power on the phone after
prolonged charging.

20
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 auto-sync, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth 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; each query drains your battery.
Powering On/Off
Press and hold the Power Key to turn on your phone.
To turn it off, press and hold the Power Key to open the
options menu. Touch Power off and then touch OK.
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 & Reset), you need to do
some settings before using it.
Touch the language field to select the language and touch Start.
Then follow the prompts to set up Wi-Fi, Google Account, Google
location and other options.
