Getting Started

What is a SIM card

When registering your mobile phone number, you will have a SIM card (Subscriber Identity Module) provided by the network operator.
The SIM card has information reserved for your use. It includes your phone number, PIN (Personal Identification Number), PIN2, PUK (password to unlock PIN), PUK2 (password to unlock PIN2), IMSI (International Mobile Subscriber Identity) number, network information, phone book data, SMS data and so on. If it is lost, contact your network operator immediately for help.

PIN code

PIN is the password provided by your network operator. It is usually four digits. When you input the PIN code, the screen displays “*” to replace the number entered.
PIN is used to access the SIM card. If the PIN protection function is enabled, the screen will display “Enter PIN” each time the phone is switched on. You can deactivate this feature but you risk unauthorized use of the phone. Some network operators do not permit deactivating the control.

PIN2 code

PIN2 is required for some specific functions provided by the network, such as the charge information.

PUK code

PUK (Personal Unblocking Key, 8-digit) unlocks a locked PIN. If you enter the PUK incorrectly ten times in a row, the SIM card will become invalid. Please contact your network operator for a new SIM card.

Installing the SIM card

1. Press and hold the ending key to turn off the phone.
2. Remove the battery cover and the battery.
3. Insert the SIM card into the card holder. Ensure that the cut corner is at the top left and the metal contacts face the phone.
4. Re-install the battery. Place the battery cover onto the back of your phone and slide it forward until the latch catches the cover.

Insert the SIM card to the master SIM card slot if there is only one SIM card.

Charging the battery

The battery is not fully charged when first unpacked. It takes three charging-discharging cycles for the battery to reach its peak performance. The battery can be charged and discharged hundreds of times. However, the capacity of the battery will be reduced each time it is charged/emptied, and it will eventually wear out. When the talk time and the standby time are noticeably shorter than normal, replace the battery. Use original batteries and charging devices only.
Unplug the charger from the outlet and the phone when not in use.
Do not leave a fully-charged battery connected to a charger because overcharging may shorten the lifetime of the battery. If unused, a fully-charged battery will lose its charge over time.
If the battery is completely discharged, the charging may not start immediately when you plug in the connector. Wait 10 to 15 minutes for the phone to begin charging.
Use the battery only for its intended purpose. Never use any charger or battery that is damaged.
Do not short-circuit the battery. An accidental short circuit may occur when a metallic object such as a coin, clip or pen causes the direct connection of the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals of the battery, for example, when you carry a spare battery in your pocket or purse.
Short circuit may damage the battery and the connecting object.
Storage at too high or low temperatures will result in a gradual capacity loss. As a result the operating time of your mobile phone may be considerably reduced, even after the battery is fully charged.
Do not dispose of batteries in a fire as they may explode. Batteries may also explode if damaged. Dispose of unwanted batteries and phones as permitted by the laws in your countries.

Battery type Standby time Call duration
Li-ion battery 300-450 hours 180-210 minutes

Charge a battery according to the following steps:
1. Connect the charger to the connection jack of the phone in proper direction, and connect the charger to a main socket.
2. The phone displays "Charger Connected!" and starts charging after properly connected. The battery icon dynamically displays the charging process. In switch-off state, the phone dynamically displays the charging process.
3. When the battery is fully charged, the charging process stops automatically, and the battery icon indicates full grid on the screen. After the battery is fully charged, remove the charger from the phone and socket as soon as possible.

Note:
After the phone has run out of battery, we recommend that you recharge the battery in time. If you do not recharge the battery in two days, the phone may enter the slow charging mode. When you recharge the battery, there may be no display temporarily.
After about 10 minutes, the charging indicator icon is displayed on the screen of the phone. If you do not recharge the battery more than two days, the battery may enter the overdischarge protection state. Thus, in order to get the battery into normal charging mode quickly, we recommend that you charge the battery on an adapter to activate the battery for charging, and then charge the battery with the phone. Alternatively, you can charge the battery with the adapter.
Do not change the parts and accessories of the battery by yourself or take off the battery cover for safety.
Use only original batteries and charging devices. Otherwise you risk serious damage to health and property.
The temperature range for charging a battery is 0°C -40°C. Do not charge batteries in too high or too low temperature.
Do not use the phone while charging.
It takes approximately four hours to fully charge a battery.
Remove the charger quickly after the battery is fully charged.

T-Flash card

T-Flash card is a kind of multimedia memory card. You can connect the phone to a computer with a USB cable to copy and move files between the T-Flash card and the computer. You can also browse photo, audio and video files stored in the phone or T-Flash card by the computer. Plug the bigger end of the USB cable into the data cable jack of the phone, and the smaller end into the USB port of the computer.

Switching the phone on

Press and hold the ending key to turn the phone on. The phone will automatically search for the network, if there is no password protection for the SIM card and the phone. After the phone is registered on the network, the name of the service provider will be displayed on the idle screen. Then you can make or answer a call.
The phone remains in searching state if it fails to find the available network system temporarily.
After the phone is switched on, if a password is required, enter the correct PIN code and press the left soft key or the OK key for confirmation. After unlocked, the phone will display the name of the registered network and the signal strength. Contact your network operator if you do not know the PIN code. The default password of the phone is “0000”.
After the phone is switched on, if it displays “Insert SIM Card” on the screen, press and hold the ending key to turn the phone off, and check whether the SIM card is properly inserted.

Switching the phone off

Press and hold the ending key to turn the phone off. After the switch-off animation is displayed on the screen, the phone will be switched off.
Do not attempt to turn the phone off by directly taking out the battery.
