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 tell you the

exact battery level each time you wake up your phone.

WARNING!

Use only ZTE-approved chargers and cables. The use of

unapproved accessories could damage your phone or cause the

battery to explode.

CAUTION:

Do not change the built-in rechargeable battery in your phone by

yourself. The battery can only be changed by ZTE or ZTE

authorised service provider.

1. Connect the adapter to the charging jack. Ensure that the

adapter is inserted with the correct orientation. Do not force

the connector into the charging jack.

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

on the status bar.

3. Disconnect the charger when the battery is fully charged.

after charging the phone for at least 10 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 auto-sync, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth off when not in use.

 Disable the GPS function when not in use. Most applications

using this function will periodically query the GPS satellites

for your current location; each query drains your battery.

Protecting Your Phone With Encryption

You can encrypt all the data on your phone: Google Accounts,

application data, music and other media, downloaded information,

and so on. If you do, you must enter a numeric PIN or a

password each time you power on your phone.

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 may be required or recommended in some

organizations. Consult your system administrator before turning it

on. In many cases the PIN or password you set for encryption is

controlled by the system administrator.

Before turning on encryption, prepare as follows:

 Set a lock screen PIN or password.

 Charge the battery.

 Keep the phone connected to the charger.

 Schedule an hour or more for the encryption process. You

must not interrupt it or you will lose some or all of your data.

When you're ready to turn on encryption:

1. Touch Settings > Security > Encrypt phone on the Home

Screen.

2. Read the information about encryption carefully.

The ENCRYPT PHONE button is dimmed if your battery is

not charged or your phone is not plugged in.

If you change your mind about encrypting your phone, touch

the Back Key.

WARNING!

If you interrupt the encryption process, you will lose data.

3. Touch ENCRYPT PHONE.

4. Enter your lock screen PIN or password and touch NEXT.

5. Touch ENCRYPT PHONE again.

The encryption process starts and displays its progress.

Encryption can take an hour or more, during which time your

phone may restart several times.

When encryption is completed, you're prompted to enter your

PIN or password.

Subsequently you must enter your PIN or password each time

you power on your phone in order to decrypt it.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter problems while using the phone, or if it performs abnormally,

you can refer to the chart below. If your particular problem cannot be resolved

using the information in the chart, contact the dealer where you purchased the

phone.

Problem

Possible causes

Possible solution

Poor

reception

The network signal is too

weak at your current

location, for example, in

a basement or near a

tall building, because

wireless transmissions

can not effectively reach

it.

Move to a location

where the network

signal can be properly

received.

The network is busy at

the current time (for

example, during peak

times, there may be too

much network traffic to

handle additional calls).

Avoid using the phone at

such times, or try again

after waiting a short

time.

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. These limits are part of comprehensive

guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energy for the general

population. The guidelines are based on standards that were developed by

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 of measurement is known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or

SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg. Transmitting at its highest

certified power level in all your mobile phone is a radio transmitter and receiver.

It is at the highest certified power level, the well below the maximum value.

This is power levels so as to use only the power required to reach the network.

139

In general, the closer you are to a wireless base station antenna, the available

for sale to the public, it must be tested and certified to the FCC that it does not

exceed the limit established by the government adopted requirement for safe

exposure.

The highest SAR value for the model phone as reported to the FCC when

worn on the body, as described in this user guide, is 1.07 W/kg (Body-worn

measurements differ among phone models, depending upon available

enhancements and FCC requirements).

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 FCC has granted an

Equipment Authorization for evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF

exposure guidelines. SAR information on this model the Display Grant section
