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.
Removing the Back Cover

INSERT SIM CARD (NOT INCLUDED) AND MEMORY CARD (OPTIONAL)

  1. 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.

    To remove the memory card: find the small ridge on the exposed end of the memory card. Put your fingernail into the ridge and gently pull the memory card out.
    Compatible card type: microSD, microSDHC, microXDHC
  3. Replace the back cover.

CHARGE YOUR PHONE

Charge your phone. Your phone may already come with enough charge to be powered on right out of the box, but we recommended to give it a full charge before first using it.


Only use batteries, charger and accessories that have been approved for use with this particular model. Connecting other accessories may be dangerous and may invalidate the phones type approval and guarantee.

Insert the small end of the included USB cable into the charging port on the phone and other end into the wall charger that you plug into to a wall socket.

TURN ON THE PHONE

Note! When turning on your phone, the installed applications may need to be updated. Application updates requires Internet connection and can take a few minutes. A Wi-Fi connection is preferable. The phone may appear a bit slow during the update.

  • Press and hold the power button until the display lights up.
  • Wait for the phone to start.
  • Enter your SIM card PIN if requested.
  • Follow the setup guide to get on the Internet and start personalising your new phone.
  • Sign in with an existing Google account or setup a new account.

HARDWARE REBOOT

This device has an internal battery and therefore the hardware cannot be rebooted by the removal of the battery. Should you need to reboot the hardware, if your device becomes frozen and unresponsive, press and hold the Power key and the Volume Up key simultaneously for more than 10 seconds to reboot it. After the device is rebooted, it will restart automatically.
