Get the Phone Ready
You need to insert a SIM card into your
phone and charge the battery to begin
setting up your phone.
Charge the Battery
1. Plug the smaller end of the micro-USB
cable into the phone’s charger/USB
port.
2. Plug the other end of the USB cable into
the charger and then plug the charger
into an electrical outlet.
Note: Your phone’s battery should have
enough charge for the phone to turn on
and find a signal, set up voicemail, and
make a call. You should fully charge the
battery as soon as possible.
Replace the SIM Card
Your phone comes with the SIM card
already installed. If you need to replace
your SIM card, follow these steps.
1. Insert your fingernail into the slit at the
bottom of the back cover and lift the
cover up gently.
2. Slide the flap of the SIM card holder in
the direction of the arrow to unlock it.
Lift the flap and then remove the original
SIM card.
CAUTION! Do not twist the flap or it
may break off.
3. Insert your current nano SIM card into
the flap of the SIM card holder, making
sure the cut-off corner is at the top right
and the card is inserted behind the SIM
guide tabs and then lower the flap of the
SIM card holder.
