Charging the Battery
When you first get your new phone you’ll need to
charge the battery.
NOTE: Although the battery comes partially charged,
it is recommended you fully charge the battery before
using your device for the first time.
1. Connect the adapter to the charger jack. Ensure
that the adapter is inserted with the correct
orientation. Do not force the connector into the
charger jack.
15
2. Connect the charger to a standard AC wall outlet.
3. Disconnect the charger when the battery is fully
charged.
To check the charge:

exact battery level each time you wake up your
phone.
If the phone is on, you’ll see this charging icon /
appears on the status bar.
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:
16
Reduce the screen backlight time.
Lower the screen brightness.
Turn Bluetooth off when not in use.
Turn Wi-Fi off when not in use.

IMPORTANT: Screen lock options are listed in the
approximate order of the strength of their security,
starting with None and Long press, which provide
no security. Pattern provides minimal security,
although it can be more convenient than the stronger
options.
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 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
24
controlled by the system administrator.
Before turning on encryption, prepare as follows:
1. Set a lock screen PIN or password.
2. Charge the battery.
3. Keep the phone connected to the charger.
4. 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 the Home Key > Menu Key > System
settings > Security > Encrypt phone.
2. Read the information about encryption carefully.
The Encrypt phone button is dimmed if your
battery's not charged or your phone's 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. Encryption can take
an hour or more, during which time your phone may
restart several times.
When encryption is complete, you're prompted to
enter your PIN or password.
Subsequently, you must enter your PIN or password
each time you power on your phone, to decrypt it.

level in all tested frequency bands. Although the
SAR is determined at the highest certified power
level, the actual SAR level of the phone 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, the
lower the power output.
The highest SAR values for this model phone as
reported to the FCC when tested for use at the
ear and on the body are:
Head: 1.20 W/kg, Body: 1.40 W/kg.
(Body-worn measurements differ among phone
models, depending upon available enhancements
and FCC requirements.)
While there may be differences between the SAR
levels of individual N850L phones and at various
positions, they all meet the government
requirement.
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 the Display Grant
section of http://www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid after
searching on
FCC ID: Q78-N850L
For body worn operation, this phone has been tested
and meets the FCC RF exposure guidelines for use
with an accessory that contains no metal and that
136
positions the handset a minimum of 1.0 cm from the
body. Use of other enhancements may not ensure
compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines. If you
do not use a body-worn accessory and are not
holding the phone at the ear, position the handset a
minimum of 1.0 cm from your body when the phone is
switched on.

Using Your Phone With a
Hearing Aid Device
Your N850L is compliant with the FCC Hearing
Aid Compatibility (HAC) requirements. For
additional HAC information, including the HAC
rating of this product, please refer to
www.zteusa-support.com.
When 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 ratings for some of their mobile
phones to assist hearing device users in finding
phones that may be compatible with their hearing
138
devices. Not all phones have been rated. Phones
that have been rated have a label on the box.
Your N850L has been tested for hearing aid
device compatibility and has an M4/T4.
These ratings are not guaranteed. Results will
vary, depending on the level of immunity of your
hearing device and the degree of your 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.
M-Ratings: Phones rated M3 or M4 meet FCC
requirements and are likely to generate less
interference with 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 contain telecoils.) The more
immune your hearing aid device is, the less likely
you are to experience interference noise from
your wireless phone.
Hearing devices may also be measured for
immunity to this type of interference. Your hearing
device manufacturer or hearing health
professional may help you find results for your
hearing device.
For additional information about the FCC's actions
139
with regard to hearing aid compatible wireless
devices and other steps the FCC has taken to
ensure that individuals with disabilities have
access to telecommunications services, please go
to www.fcc.gov/cgb/dro.
Turning on the HAC Setting
To turn on the HAC function, touch the Home
Key > Menu Key > Settings > Call settings and
tick the Hearing aids check box. For detailed
information, refer to “Using Your Phone With a
Hearing Aid Device” in the manual.
This section applies to T-Rating only and hearing
aids that contain telecoils. When the HAC setting
is on, your N850L sends the audio from your
phone calls to the telecoil rather than to the
microphone of your hearing aid. You are likely to
hear calls much better because volume is
increased and background noise and feedback
are diminished. The HAC setting improves only
the calls you listen to through the earpiece. It does
not affect calls heard on the speaker or with a
headset. HAC requires extra battery power, so
watch your battery consumption when it's turned
on.
CAUTION: Do not turn on the HAC setting unless
you use a hearing aid with a telecoil. Using this
setting without a hearing aid or with a hearing aid
without a telecoil may be harmful to your hearing.

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.
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
145
interference source, increasing the separation
between them may reduce the interference. You
may also consult your hearing aid manufacturer to
discuss alternatives.
Medical Devices
Please consult your doctor and the device
manufacturer to determine if operation of your
phone may interfere with the operation of your
medical device.
Hospitals
Switch off your wireless device when requested to
do so in hospitals, clinics or health care facilities.
