Z8 Overview

Welcome to the NUU Mobile Z8!

Thank you for purchasing a NUU smartphone! We’re proud to have you as a customer and we

think you’ll get a lot of enjoyment and usefulness out of our smartphone.

Your NUU Mobile Z8 is a carrier-unlocked Android™ smartphone. Like all smartphones, you

can use it to call, e-mail, video chat, text, use apps, and that’s just for starters. Since your

phone is carrier-unlocked, you can use it with any compatible carrier.

Before you get started using your Z8, please keep in mind the following safety tips.

First of all, do not text and drive!

It is unsafe as well as against the law.

Emergency Calls: To make an emergency call when the phone is locked with a passcode,

press the Power button and tap “Emergency call”. Then dial the emergency number and

press the phone-shaped button below the keypad. If the Z8 isn’t secured with a passcode or

PIN when powered on, slide the phone icon to the right and dial from there.

Airplane Use: Please follow all instructions from airline staﬀ. Some airlines will allow phone

usage and some will not and it is up to you to listen and learn which.

In Hospitals: Do not use your phone around medical equipment as it may interfere with

sensitive electronics. If in doubt, turn oﬀ your phone and ask hospital staﬀ where it is safe to

use your phone.

Chemical Safety: Do not use your phone around chemical fumes, as this may present a ﬁre

or explosion hazard.

Demolitions and Other Explosives: If you encounter a sign that says “Turn oﬀ all radios,

explosives in use!”, do not put the phone to sleep but instead power it oﬀ completely.

Remove the battery as well if you want to be extra safe.

Water: Don’t let your phone go for a swim! It’s not waterproof.

NUU Mobile Accessories Only, Please!: If you need a replacement battery or accessory,

please use only NUU Mobile-brand items.

Written Backup: We strongly recommend that you keep a written record of all important

information (eg: your Google credentials and so on) and that you store the record in a safe,

secure place.

Installing the SIM Card and Powering Up

SIM Card Safety Note: SIM cards are small enough to become a choking hazard, so please

keep them away from children. SIM cards are also quite delicate. Please be careful when

handling your card, and if you need to store the card, we recommend using a small bottle or a

dedicated card-carrier to keep your card safe (Old ﬁlm canisters and clean, empty

prescription bottles work well).

You must insert your SIM card before using your phone!

Power On, Power Oﬀ: Inserting or removing a SIM card requires that your phone be

completely oﬀ. Here’s how to power your phone on or oﬀ.

On: Hold down the power button for a few seconds. You will see the NUU logo when

the phone powers on successfully.

Oﬀ: Hold down the power button for a few seconds. When you see the menu pop up,

tap the “Power Oﬀ” option. Conﬁrm the choice to power oﬀ the phone.

Installation:

1: Power oﬀ your phone fully.

2: Remove the rear cover and battery.

3: Insert SIM card according to the diagram inside the phone.

4: Re-insert the battery and close the rear cover.

5: Power on your phone.

Controls & Using The Touchscreen

While your Z8 smartphone certainly has a number of buttons you can push, you will

control it primarily by using the touchscreen. You may wonder just how many diﬀerent ways

one can touch a screen, and as it turns out there are a few of them! You’ll ﬁnd a handy list

of the most common ones below, which includes the name for the gesture and a description

how to perform it.

Important!:

Your phone’s touchscreen is NOT pressure-sensitive, as it instead works by sensing tiny

electrical currents. This means that when you touch the screen, you only need to make

contact, you do not need to apply pressure. If your ﬁngertips are heavily callused (or if

you are wearing non-conductive gloves), the screen may not “hear” you or register your

touches properly. In that case, try a diﬀerent ﬁngertip or a patch of bare skin.

“Tap”: In some documentation, this may also be referred to as a “touch” or even a “click”.

It’s almost exactly like tapping your ﬁnger on a table; aim a single ﬁngertip, touch it to the

screen, and pull it away from the screen. You can have your ﬁnger in contact with the screen

for quite a bit before the phone registers it as a “long-press”, so don’t feel like you have to

pull away instantly.

“Double-tap”: Two taps in rapid succession, almost exactly like double-clicking a mouse,

but with your ﬁngertip. Rarely called a “double-click”. Used for diﬀerent things in diﬀerent

apps, so make sure to consult the help for that app!

“Long-press”: Sometimes referred to as “hold” or “tap-and-hold” or “touch-and-hold”.

Place your ﬁnger on the screen and keep it there. After about a full second, the phone will

recognize this as a long-press and give you some kind of feedback: a menu might

appear, an icon might start shaking, or some element of the interface will change to

indicate that you have the phone’s complete attention.

What makes the long-press a little diﬃcult is that in some apps, removing your ﬁnger from

the screen makes your next selection, and in other apps, you’re expected to make a

separate “tap” to select the thing you want after a long-press. This behavior isn’t

constant across all apps so you’ll need to experiment a little with your apps.

“Drag-and-drop”: Sometimes mentioned as “drag-n-drop”, “drag”, or “touch, hold, and

drag”. First you long-press something, then once you’ve gotten the visual feedback that

shows that the phone interpreted your long-press, you keep your ﬁnger on the screen as you

move it around. When you remove your ﬁnger from the screen, you “drop” the item in ques-

tion.

The usual example is moving your app icons around. First you long-press the icon in

question until you see it get “picked up” or highlighted somehow, then (keeping your ﬁnger

on the screen) you “drag” the icon to its new spot. When you let go, you’ve “dropped” it. The

key part is that a drag-and-drop always starts with a long-press.

“Slide”: Closely related to the drag-and-drop. While a drag-and-drop requires a

long-press at the beginning, a slide does not. Unlocking the phone, answering a call, and

bringing up Google Now all require slide motions, where you slide an on-screen button in a

straight line, with no pause or delay after touching the button.

“Swipe”: A swipe is a gesture that’s just like moving a playing card across a smooth felt

table. There’s no pause at either end, just a smooth motion. The tricky part of swiping is

what is meant by the term “swipe left” or “swipe right”.

In NUU documentation (and Google’s) the direction refers to the way your ﬁngertip goes. So

“swipe left” means your ﬁngertip starts on the right side of the screen and goes to the left.

That swiping left often looks like the whole app “jumped” to the right is where the potential

confusion comes from. When in doubt, follow your ﬁngertip!

Swiping is normally used to bring a menu onto the screen, switch between windows, or other

large-scale actions that involve most or all of the screen instead of just a single part, like the

slide.

“Two-ﬁnger swipe”: Just like a regular swipe, but with two ﬁngertips instead of just one.

Sometimes you’ll even see apps that ask for a three-ﬁnger swipe, but this is pretty rare.

“Pinch”: Sometimes simply referred to as “zoom” and the two terms are often combined

into “pinch-to-zoom”. Google sometimes calls it “scale”. This refers to placing two

ﬁngertips on the screen and either pinching them together or spreading them apart to

change the size of something, usually a picture or a web page. Note that you can often rotate

an image with this gesture as well as zoom.

Those Three Buttons

At the bottom of the screen you’ll ﬁnd three buttons (consult the Button Layout diagram for

their location).

Here’s what they do.

Recent: Tapping this button brings up the “Recent” menu. This is a vertical list of apps that

are currently active. If you have Chrome’s “merge tabs” feature turned on, Recent also lets

you switch between Chrome tabs. You can slide the list up and down to see the whole list.

Slide an app’s picture oﬀ the screen (left or right works) to make it inactive. You can also tap

the app’s X button to do the same thing. This is often referred to as “killing” or

“force-quitting” an app, and it’s a useful thing to know as doing so can solve many problems

with a misbehaving app!

Recent

Common Onscreen Buttons

Drawer: This button is used to access a general menu in a particular app. In

Google Maps, for example, it lets you switch between map and satellite view,

among other things. In GMail, the Drawer allows you to switch between folders.

If your app has a Drawer button, you should familiarize yourself with the options it

presents. Sometimes the Drawer is also referred to as “options” or “hamburger”

or, confusingly, “menu”.

Share: Pressing Share allows you to send the content of your current app to

someone else. For example, when looking at the details for an app in the Play

Store, using the Share button allows you to send a link to that app by e-mail, Blue

tooth, MMS, or in a variety of other ways. The same thing can be done in the

Contacts app and other places. Sometimes this button is referred to as “Send” or

“Send Using...”.

Overﬂow: The oﬃcial name is both “Menu” and “Overﬂow”, but NUU

documentation uses “Overﬂow” to avoid confusion. Sometimes also known as

“options” or “the stoplight”. Whatever its name, this button brings up options

relevant to the current screen. If you were looking at a Contact card, for example,

“Overﬂow” would allow you to edit, delete, share, or set the ringtone for that

contact only. “Overﬂow” provides access to your bookmarks and other settings in

the Google Chrome app.

Home: The Home button has two main functions. Tapping the Home button will always take

you back to your Home screen, the “center” screen in the pages of icons you can have on

your phone. If you’re lost, tap Home and you’ll be taken back to familiar territory!

Long-pressing the Home button brings up the Search app, which lets you search the con-

tents of your phone and the web at the same time.

Back: This does exactly what its name suggests; it takes you back one step. If you called

up a sub-menu, for example, and wanted to go back to the previous menu, just tap the Back

button one time to do that. If you tap Back enough times, you will

eventually work all the way to your Home screen, so this is another way of getting back

to familiar territory if you’re lost.

Microphone: Used for Google Now, OK Google, and voice-recognition. Tap

Microphone and then speak when prompted.

Call: Dials the number entered on the keypad, or if you are looking at a contact

page, dials the preferred number for that contact.

Locate: Most often found in mapping software, tapping this centers the map on

your location if it was not already.

Search: This magnifying-glass icon, when tapped, activates the search function

for whatever app you are using.

Send: Most often seen in e-mail apps, this sends the current message to its

recipient.

Select All: Selects every single item in a checklist. This button isn’t seen often,

but when it is, it’s rarely labeled.

Trash: Destroys the currently-selected item. There is usually no way to undo this,

so be careful!

How Do I...?

In the following pages you’ll ﬁnd short introductions to the things you can do with a smart-

phone. These are not as in-depth as you’d ﬁnd in the oﬃcial Android User Guide from Google,

as they’re meant to get you started.

You can access Google’s Android help pages at the following address:

https://support.google.com/android

or by tapping this link if you are viewing this manual on your NUU Mobile phone.

Google’s Android Quick Start Guide, Android 5.0, Lollipop can be found in the Play Store by

searching for its title or by tapping this link if you are viewing this manual on your NUU Mobile

phone.

Welcome Screen: Pick your language by swiping up and down and

pressing the > button.

Insert SIM Card: Pops up if there’s no SIM installed. You can skip this

screen.

Connect to WiFi: If you’re in range of a trusted Wi-Fi hotspot, conﬁgure

it and connect to it here.

Check Connection, Update Software: Lollipop automatically updates

itself the ﬁrst time it connects to the Internet. Just let that update happen

and then continue on to the next screen when it’s done.

Initial Conﬁguration

The very ﬁrst time you power on your phone, you’ll have to go through the initial setup. It’s

not too diﬃcult, but you will have a number of choices to make and account information to

enter, namely your Google credentials. Here is the general order of events:
