GETTING STARTED
Before you start using your new phone you may need:
- Nano SIM card. To take full advantage of your new smartphone's capabilities, you should install a SIM card. The SIM card will enable you to place calls or use mobile data to connect to various Internet services. Your mobile service provider will give you a card and the codes needed for it (PIN and PUK) when you buy a mobile contract or a prepaid SIM card. Make sure you get a suitable contract that fit your needs regarding calls and mobile data.
- Google™ account: To be able to fully use your new smartphone you need a Google Account. If you don't have one yet, no worries, as you will be guided through an account setup when starting the phone for the first time. It can however be a good idea to think of a Username and Password as these will be used for many services, such as Gmail, YouTube, Google Maps, Google Drive, Google Photos and and other Google products.
- Memory card (optional). From Android™ 6.0, you can select to use a memory card (microSD) as extended internal memory or as a portable memory. We suggest you to use a high speed memory card, especially if used as extended internal memory.
- Wi-Fi access. If you have a Wi-Fi access point avaiable, it's always good to connect to that to reduce costs for data traffic and possibly increase data speed.
REMOVE THE BACK COVER

Be careful not to damage your fingernails when you remove the back cover. Do not bend or twist the back cover excessively as it may get damaged.

INSERT SIM CARD (NOT INCLUDED) AND MEMORY CARD (OPTIONAL)
- Insert the nano SIM card by gently sliding it into the SIM card slot. Make sure that the SIM card's contacts are facing downwards and that the cut off corner is up, as shown. Take care not to scratch or bend the contacts on the SIM card. This device accepts only nano SIM card (4FF). Using a modified incompatible card that is thicker than a nano SIM card may damage the card itself, the card slot and corrupt any data stored on the card. Should you need, but have problem to remove/replace the SIM card, use adhesive tape on the exposed part of the SIM card to pull it out.

Compatible card type: microSD, microSDHC, microXDHC - Replace the back cover.

After the device is rebooted, it will restart automatically.
