Section 1: Getting Started
This section reviews how to get started by configuring
your hardware, activating your service, and setting up your
voice mail.
Setting Up Your Phone
Prior to use, it is necessary to install both the battery and
SIM into their corresponding internal compartments.
Locate the slot on the side of the cover, use this slot to
pull the cover up, and then lift it away from the phone.
Getting Started
4
Installing the SIM Card
A Subscriber Identity Module (SIM Card) is a “smartcard”
that houses personal information, such as your mobile phone
number, calling plan, account information, and content, such
as contacts, text messages, and call history.
The Verizon Wireless 4G LTE SIM Card is compatible with any
Verizon Wireless 4G LTE certified device. You can move the
4G LTE SIM Card from one device to another and your
wireless service will work seamlessly as long as you have a
compatible device and service plan. To see which devices
are compatible with the Verizon Wireless 4G LTE SIM Card,
visit
verizonwireless.com/certifieddevice
.
Important! The plug-in SIM card information and its contacts
can be easily damaged by scratching or bending,
so be careful when handling, inserting, or
removing the card. Keep all SIM cards out of
reach of small children.
With the battery removed, carefully slide the SIM card
into the SIM card socket (as shown) until the card locks
into place.
Make sure that the card’s gold contacts face into the
phone and that the upper-left angled corner of the card
is positioned as shown.
Note: If the card is not inserted correctly, the phone will not
detect the SIM card. Re-orient the card back into the
slot if the SIM is not detected.
5
Installing the Battery
4. Press the cover down into place.
1. Insert the battery into the opening on the back of
the phone, making sure the three metal connectors
align (1).
2. Gently press down to secure the battery (2).
3. Replace the back cover (the back of the phone) by
aligning the bottom of the back cover with the phone
as shown.
5. Press down firmly along the edges of the cover to
ensu
re that the cover is flush with the phone. You
should hear a light click as the cover locks in place.
Note: Make sure the battery is properly installed before
switching on the phone.
Getting Started 6
Charging a Battery
When you connect the charger, your phone powers on
automatically. Your Windows phone stays powered on
whenever it is charging.
Your phone is powered by a rechargeable Li-ion battery. The
Wa
ll/USB Charger, which is used to charge the battery, is
included with your phone. Use only approved batteries and
chargers. Long backlight settings, searching for service,
vibrate mode, browser use, and other variables may reduce
the battery’s talk and standby times.
Although you can use the phone while the bat
tery is
charging, doing so requires additional charging time.
Note: You must fully charge the battery before using your
phone for the first time. A discharged battery recharges
fully in approximately 4 hours.
Using the Wall/USB Charger
4. When charging is finished, remove the flat end from
the interface connector jack on the phone.
1. Connect the USB cable to the power adapter.
2. Plug the power adapter into a standard electrical
outlet.
Caution! Failure to unplug the wall charger before you
remove the battery can cause damage to the phone.
3. Connect the
small end of the USB cable into the
phone’s Micro USB Char
ging Port.
7
Low Battery Indicator
When the battery is weak and only a few minutes of talk time
remain, the “Battery critically low” warning appears and the
device sounds a warning tone at regular intervals.
For a quick check of your battery level, glance at the battery
charge indicator located in the upper-right corner of your
device’s disp
lay. A solid battery icon indicates a
full charge.
( )
When the batter
y level becomes too low, the phone
automatically turns off.
Note: If the phone automatically turns off because the battery
level is too low, you must charge the battery until the
phone turns on automatically.
Memory Card
Your device supports optional, removable, microSD or
microSDHC memory cards (not included) for storage of
music, pictures, and other files.
For more information about using memor
y cards,
see
“Storage Sense” on page 121
.
Installing a Memory Card
1. Locate the microSD card slot on the side of the phone.
2. Place the card with the gold strips facing down.
3. Carefully slide the optional microSD card into the card
slot (as shown) until it “clicks” into place.

your device.
Follow the prompts to choose a default language, country/
region and time zone, date and time, Wi-Fi network.

Linking People
Linking People Information
Many people now maintain multiple email accounts, social
networking logins, and other similar account information. For
example, a Facebook account login name might differ from a
corporate email account login because they are maintained
separately and for different groups of people.
This device can synchronize with multiple accounts such as
Windows Live, Outlook, Google, Facebook, Twitter, and
LinkedIn. When you synchronize your phone with these
accounts, each account creates a separate contact entry in
the People list.
If one of your contacts (Amy Smith, for example) has a
regular email account that you maintain in Hotmail, but also
has a Facebook account under her maiden and married
name, as well as a Google account, when you merge these
accounts into your Contacts list you can link all of her entries
and view the information in one record.
The next time you synchronize your phone with your
accounts, any updates that contacts make to email account
names, email addresses, and so on, automatically update in
your People list.
For more information about synchronizing accounts, see
“Synchronizing Accounts” on page 49

About Bluetooth
Bluetooth is a short-range communications technology that

to return to the Home screen.
Bluetooth Status Indicator
The icon displays at the top of your screen when

Note: Due to different specifications and fea
tures of other
Bluetooth-compatible devices, display and operations
may be different.
Note: Connecting between two Bluetooth devices is a one-
time process. Once a connection has been created, the
devices continue to recognize their partnership and
exchange information without having to re-enter a
passcode.
Disconnecting Bluetooth Devices
Disconnecting a connected device breaks the connection
between the device and your phone, but retains the
knowledge of the connection. At a later point when you want

connection information again.
1. Verify your Bluetooth is active.
2. From the Bluetooth settings page, tap the
previously connected device. The status changes
to not connected.
3. Tap the device name again to reconnect.
4. To delete the device name from your list of Bluetooth
devices, touch and hold the device name until delete
