Get Started
Insert the SIM and memory card
- Open the SIM card tray: push the tray opener pin in the tray hole and slide the tray out.
- If you have a single-SIM phone, put a nano-SIM card in slot 1 and a memory card in slot 2 on the tray with the contact areas face down. If you have a dual-SIM phone, put a nano-SIM card in slot 1 and either a second SIM or a memory card in slot 2 with the contact areas face down. Tip: To find out if your phone can use 2 SIM cards, see the label on the sales box. If there are 2 IMEI codes on the label, you have a dual-SIM phone.
- Slide the tray back in. Use only original nano-SIM cards. Use of incompatible SIM cards may damage the card or the device, and may corrupt data stored on the card.Use only compatible memory cards approved for use with this device. Incompatible cards may damage the card and the device and corrupt data stored on the card.
Important: Do not remove the memory card when an app is using it. Doing so may damage the memory card and the device and corrupt data stored on the card. Both SIM cards are available at the same time when the device is not being used, but while one SIM card is active, for example, making a call, the other may be unavailable.
Note: 5G may not be available when two SIM cards are inserted in your
phone. If you have two SIM cards inserted, both SIM cards support 4G/3G/ 2G.
Download the software update when available to enable 5G/4G/3G/2G support for
SIM1 and 4G/ 3G/2G support for SIM2 when two SIM cards are inserted.
Charge the battery and switch the phone on
Plug a compatible charger into a wall outlet, and connect the cable to your
phone. Your phone supports the USB-C cable. You can also charge your phone
from a computer with a USB cable, but it may take a longer time. If the
battery is completely discharged, it may take several minutes before the
charging indicator is displayed. To switch your phone on, press and hold the
power key until the phone vibrates. The phone guides you through the setup.

works seamlessly when full 5G service is not available, it is recommended that
you change the highest connection speed from 5G to 4G. To do this, on the home
screen, tap Settings > Network & Internet > Mobile network > Advanced, and
switch Preferred network type to 4G. For more info, contact your network
service provider. If you need to look at your screen in dim light, switch on
the night light. Tap Settings > Display > Night Light > TURN ON NOW. The
display is tinted warm yellow. To switch off the night light, tap TURN OFF
NOW.
Maximum transmit power
Your device has an internal, non-removable, rechargeable battery. Do not
attempt to remove the battery or back cover, as you may damage the device. To
replace the battery, take the device to the nearest authorised service
facility. Charge your device with the AD-18WE (EU plug) / AD-18WX (UK plug)/
AD-18WA (Australia plug) / SACAD18TVL (US plug) chargers. HMD Global may make
additional battery or charger models available for
this device. Charging time can vary depending on device capability. Some of
the accessories mentioned in this user guide, such as charger, headset, or
data cable, may be sold separately. The surface of the device is nickel-free.
Parts of the device are magnetic. Metallic materials may be attractedto the
device. Do not place credit cards or other magnetic stripe cards near the
device for extended periods of time, since the cards may be damaged.
Note: Pre-installed system software and apps use a significant part of
memory space.Keep a safe distance when using the flash. Do not use the flash
on people or animals at close range. Do not cover the flash while taking a
photo.
Note: The device is restricted to indoor use only when operating in the
5150 to 5350 MHz frequency range in the following countries:
Certification information
This mobile device meets guidelines for exposure to radio waves as set forth by the Council of Europe (CE). Refer to the following.
European RF Exposure Information
Your mobile device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed not to
exceed the limits for exposure to radio waves recommended by international
guidelines. These guidelines were developed by the independent scientific
organization ICNIRP and include safety margins designed to assure the
protection of all persons, regardless of age and health. The guidelines use a
unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR
limit for mobile devices is 2.0 W/kg and the highest SAR value for this device
when tested at the ear is 1.433 W/kg. As mobiledevices offer a range of
functions, they can be used in other positions, such as on the body. In this
case, the highest tested SAR value is 1.406 W/kg at the separation distance
of 0.5 cm from the body. For electronic safety, maintain the separation
distance with accessories containing no metal, that position handset a minimum
of the above distance. Use of other accessories may not ensure compliance with
RF exposure guidelines. *The tests are carried out in accordance with
international guidelines for testing. This mobile device meets guidelines for
exposure to radio waves as set forth by the Federal Communications Commission
(FCC). Refer to the following.
FCC RF Exposure Information
Your handset is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to radiofrequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission of the U.S. Government. The guidelines are based on standards that were developed by the independent scientific organizations through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. The standards include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health. The exposure standard for wireless handsets employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6 W/kg. The tests are performed in positions and locations (e.g. at the ear and worn on the body) as required by the FCC for each model. The highest SAR value for this handset model as reported to the FCC when tested for use at the ear is 1.16 W/kg, and when worn on the body in a holder or carry case, is 1.19 W/kg. Body-worn Operation; This device was tested for typical body-worn operations with the handset kept 1.0 cm from the body. To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure requirements, use accessories that maintain a 1.0 cm separation distance between the user’s body and the handset. The use of belt clips, holsters and similar accessories should not contain metallic components in its assembly. The use of accessories that do not satisfy these requirements may not comply with FCC RF exposure requirements and should be avoided. The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this handset model with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF emission guidelines. SAR information on this handset model is on file with the FCC and can be found under the FCC ID Search section of www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/ after searching on FCC ID 2AJOTTA-1243. Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) can be found on the FCC website at www.fcc.gov/general/radio-frequency safety-0. To send data or messages, a good connection to the network is needed. Sending may be delayed until such a connection is available. Follow the separation distance instructions until the sending is finished. During general use, the SAR values are usually well below the values stated above. This is because, for purposes of system efficiency and minimizing interference on the network, the operating power of your mobile is automatically decreased when full power is not needed for the call. The lower the power output, the lower the SAR value. Device models may have different versions and more than one value. Component and design changes may occur over time and some changes could affect SAR values. For more info, go to www.sar-tick.com. Note that mobile devices may be transmitting even if you are not making a voice call. Your mobile device is also designed to meet the United States Federal Communications Commission (FCC) guidelines. FCC ratings for your device and more information on SAR can be found at http://transition.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety/sar.html. The World Health Organization (WHO) has stated that current scientific information does not indicate the need for any special precautions when using mobile devices. If you are interested in reducing your exposure, they recommend you limit your usage or use a hands-free kit to keep the device away from your head and body. For more information and explanations and discussions on RF exposure, go to the WHO website at www.who.int/peh-emf/en.
