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 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 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 standby mode.

1.  Insert your fingernail into the slot at the 

bottom left of the back cover and lift it up 
gently.

2.  Hold the micro-SIM cards with the cut corner 

oriented as shown and slip them into the card 
slots.

 NOTE:

The two micro-SIM card slots support LTE/
WCDMA/GSM micro-SIM cards. When one 
micro-SIM card is set to connect with LTE/
WCDMA networks, the other installed micro-
SIM card can only connect with GSM networks. 

For detailed information, please refer to the user 

manual.

3.  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.

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.  Remove the back cover.

2.  Hold your microSDHC card with the metal 

contacts facing down and slide it in.

 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.

 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 in the 
correct direction.

 

2.  Connect the charger to a standard AC power 

outlet.

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.
