Getting Started
Installing the Nano-SIM Card and
microSDHC Card

You can use one nano-SIM card and one microSDHC card
(optional, not included). Power off your phone before installing
or replacing the nano-SIM card or the microSDHC card.
Warning! To avoid damage to the phone, do not use any other
kind of SIM cards or a non-standard nano-SIM card cut from a
SIM card. You can obtain a standard nano-SIM card from your
service provider.
1. With the phone powered off, remove the
back cover via the notch at the bottom
corner of the phone, and then remove
the battery via the notch below it.
2. Insert the nano-SIM card, with the cut
corner first and the gold-colored contacts
facing down, into the slot above the battery
compartment.
3. Insert the microSDHC card (sold separately),
with the gold-colored contacts facing down,
into its slot.
4. Insert the battery, making sure the
connectors align. Gently push down on the
battery until it clicks into place.
5. Replace the back cover.
GETTING STARTED

Charging the Battery

Your phone’s battery should have enough power
for the phone to turn on, find a signal, and make
a few calls. You should fully charge the battery
as soon as possible.
If the battery is low, there will be a pop-up
message on the screen. As you charge your
phone, the screen will show you the exact
battery level on the Status Bar.
Warning! Use only ZTE-approved chargers and
cables. The use of unapproved accessories could
damage your phone or cause the battery to explode.
1. Connect the adapter to the charging port.
2. Connect the charger to a standard AC wall outlet. If the phone
is on, you’ll see a charging icon, such as or , appear in the
Status Bar.
3. Disconnect the charger when the battery is fully charged.
Note: If the battery is extremely low, you may be unable to power
on the phone even when it is being charged. In this case, try
again after charging the phone for at least 20 minutes. Contact
customer service if you still cannot power on the phone after
prolonged charging.

Extending the Battery Life

Active applications, screen brightness levels, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi
usage, and GPS functionality can drain your battery. You can
follow the helpful tips below to conserve your battery power:

•
•

Reduce the screen backlight time.
Lower the screen brightness.
Turn Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and auto-sync off when not in use.

• Use the battery saver feature.

Powering Your Phone On/Off

• Press and hold the Power key to turn on your phone.
• To turn it off, press and hold the Power key to open the
options menu. Tap Power off.
Note: If the phone freezes or takes too long to respond,
press and hold the Power key for about 10 seconds to
restart the phone.

Setting Up Your Phone for the First Time

When you first power on your phone after you purchase it or
reset it to factory settings (see Settings – Personal – Backup &
Reset), you will need to set it up before using it.
Tap the language field to select a language. Then tap LET’S
GO and follow the prompts to set up your Wi-Fi connection,
Google services, name, device protection, and other options.
Note: Users with low vision can tap Vision Settings on the initial
setup screen to customize accessibility features.

Warning! Encryption is irreversible. The only way to revert to an
unencrypted phone is to perform a factory data reset, which
erases all your data.
Encryption provides additional protection in case your phone
is stolen, and it may be required or recommended by some
organizations. Consult your system administrator before turning
on encryption. In many cases, the system administrator controls
the pattern, PIN, or password set for encryption.
Before turning on encryption, prepare as follows:
• Set a screen lock pattern, PIN, or password.

or more, during which time your phone may restart several
times and MUST NOT be interrupted.
6. When encryption is completed and a prompt appears on
the screen, draw your unlock pattern or enter your PIN
or password.
From this point on, each time you power on your phone, you
must draw your unlock pattern or enter your PIN or password
to decrypt the phone.

FCC RF Exposure Information (SAR)

This phone is designed and manufactured not to exceed the
emission limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy
set by the Federal Communications Commission of the
United States.
During SAR testing, this device was set to transmit at its highest
certified power level in all tested frequency bands, and placed in
positions that simulate RF exposure in usage against the head
with no separation, and near the body with the separation of
10 mm. Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified
power level, the actual SAR level of the device while operating
can be well below the maximum value. This is because the
phone is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as to
use only the power required to reach the network. In general,
the closer you are to a wireless base station antenna, the lower
the power output.
The exposure standard for wireless devices employing a unit of
measurement is known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR.
The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6 W/kg.
This device is complied with SAR for general population /
uncontrolled exposure limits in ANSI/IEEE C95.1-1992 and had
been tested in accordance with the measurement methods and
procedures specified in IEEE1528.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model
phone with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance
with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR information on this
model phone is on file with the FCC and can be found under
FOR YOUR SAFETY

127

the Display Grant section of www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid after
searching on FCC ID: SRQ-Z835.
For this device, the highest reported SAR value for usage
against the head is 0.76 W/kg, and for usage near the body
is 1.12 W/kg.
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various
phones and at various positions, they all meet the government
requirements.
SAR compliance for body-worn operation is based on a
separation distance of 10 mm between the unit and the human
body. Carry this device at least 10 mm away from your body to
ensure RF exposure level compliant or lower to the reported
level. To support body-worn operation, choose the belt clips or
holsters, which do not contain metallic components, to maintain
a separation of 10 mm between this device and your body.
RF exposure compliance with any body-worn accessory, which
contains metal, was not tested and certified, and using such
body-worn accessory should be avoided.

FCC Regulations

This mobile phone complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This
device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device
must accept any interference received, including interference
that may cause undesired operation.
This mobile phone has been tested and found to comply with the
limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC
Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable
128

FOR YOUR SAFETY

protection against harmful interference in a residential
installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance
with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to
radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this
equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television
reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off
and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference
by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different
from that to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician
for help.
CAUTION: Changes or modifications not expressly approved
by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s
authority to operate the equipment.
The antenna(s) used for this transmitter must not be co-located
or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.

Hearing Aid Compatibility (HAC) regulations
for Mobile Phones
In 2003, the FCC adopted rules to make digital wireless
telephones compatible with hearing aids and cochlear implants.
Although analog wireless phones do not usually cause
interference with hearing aids or cochlear implants, digital
FOR YOUR SAFETY

129

wireless phones sometimes do because of electromagnetic
energy emitted by the phone's antenna, backlight, or other
components. Your phone is compliant with FCC HAC regulations
(ANSI C63.19- 2011). While some wireless phones are used near
some hearing devices (hearing aids and cochlear implants), users
may detect a buzzing, humming, or whining noise. Some hearing
devices are more immune than others to this interference
noise and phones also vary in the amount of interference they
generate. The wireless telephone industry has developed a
rating system for wireless phones to assist hearing device users
in finding phones that may be compatible with their hearing
devices. Not all phones have been rated. Phones that are rated
have the rating on their box or a label located on the box. The
ratings are not guarantees. Results will vary depending on the
user's hearing device and hearing loss. If your hearing device
happens to be vulnerable to interference, you may not be able
to use a rated phone successfully. Trying out the phone with
your hearing device is the best way to evaluate it for your
personal needs.
This phone has been tested and rated for use with hearing aids
for some of the wireless technologies that it uses. However, there
may be some newer wireless technologies used in this phone
that have not been tested yet for use with hearing aids. It is
important to try the different features of this phone thoroughly
and in different locations, using your hearing aid or cochlear
implant, to determine if you hear any interfering noise. Consult
your service provider or the manufacturer of this phone for
information on hearing aid compatibility. If you have questions
130

FOR YOUR SAFETY

about return or exchange policies, consult your service provider
or phone retailer.
M-Ratings: Phones rated M3 or M4 meet FCC requirements and
are likely to generate less interference to hearing devices than
phones that are not labeled. M4 is the better/higher of the
two ratings.
T-Ratings: Phones rated T3 or T4 meet FCC requirements and
are likely to be more usable with a hearing device’s telecoil
(“T Switch” or “Telephone Switch”) than unrated phones. T4 is
the better/higher of the two ratings. (Note that not all hearing
devices have telecoils in them.)
Your phone meets the M3/T3 level rating.
Hearing devices may also be rated. Your hearing device
manufacturer or hearing health professional may help you
find this rating. For more information about FCC Hearing Aid
Compatibility, please go to http://www.fcc.gov/cgb/dro.

Radio Frequency Interference
General Statement on Interference
Care must be taken when using the phone in close proximity to
personal medical devices, such as pacemakers and hearing aids.
Please consult your doctor and the device manufacturer to
determine if operation of your phone may interfere with the
operation of your medical device.

Pacemakers
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum
separation of 15 cm be maintained between a mobile phone and
a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker.
To achieve this, use the phone on the opposite ear to your
pacemaker and do not carry it in a breast pocket.
FOR YOUR SAFETY

137

Hearing Aids
People with hearing aids or other cochlear implants may
experience interfering noises when using wireless devices or
when one is nearby.
The level of interference will depend on the type of hearing
device and the distance from the interference source, increasing
the separation between them may reduce the interference.
You may also consult your hearing aid manufacturer to discuss
alternatives.

Medical Equipment
Switch off your wireless device when requested to do so in
hospitals, clinics or health care facilities. These requests are
designed to prevent possible interference with sensitive
medical equipment.

Aircraft
Switch off your wireless device whenever you are instructed
to do so by airport or airline staff.
Consult the airline staff about the use of wireless devices on
board the aircraft and enable the airplane mode of your phone
when boarding an aircraft.

Interference in Vehicles
Please note that because of possible interference to electronic
equipment, some vehicle manufacturers forbid the use of mobile
phones in their vehicles unless a hands-free kit with an external
antenna is included in the installation.
