Installing the microSD Card and Battery
Switch off your phone before installing or replacing the battery
or microSD card. The microSD card is pre-installed in the
handset.

13
1. Remove the back cover.
2. Hold your microSD card with the metal contacts facing
down and slide it in.
NOTE:The microSD logo is a trademark of the
SD Card Association.

14
3. Insert the battery by aligning the gold contacts on the
battery with the gold contacts in the battery compartment.
Gently push down on the battery until it clicks into place.
4. Press the cover gently back into place until you hear a
click.
Removing the Battery and microSD Card
1. Make sure that your mobile phone is off.
2. Remove the back cover.
3. Lift the battery up and out.
4. Slide the microSD card out.

15
Charging the Battery
When you first get your new phone you’ll need to charge the
battery.
1. Connect the adapter to the charger jack. Ensure that the
adapter is inserted with the correct orientation. Do not
force the connector into the charger jack.
2. Connect the charger to a standard AC wall outlet.
3. Disconnect the charger when the battery is fully charged.
NOTE:Use only ZTE-approved batteries and chargers with
your phone. The failure to use a ZTE-approved battery and
charger may increase the risk that your phone will overheat,
catch fire or explode, resulting in serious bodily injury, death
or property damage.

16
How much charge have you got?
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.
If the phone is on, you’ll see this charging icon /
appear on the status bar. As soon as the charging is
completed, this icon appears on the status bar.
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 Bluetooth off when not in use.
•Turn Wi-Fi 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.
•When taking pictures, do not use a flash unless you have
to.

17
Switching Your Phone On/Off
Make sure the battery is charged.
•Press and hold the Power Key to switch on your phone.
•To switch it off, press and hold the Power Key to get the
phone options. Touch Power off, and then touch OK.
Switching to Sleep Mode
To save battery power, Sleep Mode suspends your phone to
a low-power-consumption state while the display is off. Your
phone also goes into Sleep Mode by itself when the display
is automatically turned off after a certain period of time, which
you can set in Settings > Display > Screen timeout.
Press the Power Key to switch to Sleep Mode.
Waking Up Your Phone
1. Press the Power Key to activate your screen display.
2. Drag the icon to the right to unlock the screen.
NOTE: If you have set an unlock pattern, PIN or password for
your phone (see chapter Sorting out Your Phone Settings –
Security Settings), you’ll need to draw the pattern or enter the
PIN/password to unlock your screen.
