Installing the UICC Card, microSD Card and Battery

2. Hold the UICC card with the cut corner oriented as shown and slip it into the card holder.
3. (Optional). Hold your microSD card with the metal contacts facing down and slide it in.
Notes:
Some applications may require a microSD card to work normally or may store certain data on it.
Therefore, it is recommended that you keep a microSD 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.
Warning:
Use only ZTE-approved chargers and cables. The use of unapproved accessories could damage your
phone or cause the battery to explode.
1. Plug the USB connector into the charging jack on the lower left side of your phone.
2. Plug the AC adapter into an electrical outlet.
3. Disconnect the charger when the battery is fully charged.

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 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.
