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 can show you the

exact battery level on the status bar.

WARNING!

Use only ZTE-approved chargers and micro-USB 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

authorized service provider.

NOTE:

Use the charger that comes in-box with your phone to charge the

battery.

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 cannot

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.

You are too far away from a

base station for your service

provider.

You can request a service

area map from your service

provider.

Echo or noise

The network link quality is

poor on the part of your

service provider.

End the call and dial again.

You may be switched to a

better-quality network link

phone line.

148

Problem Possible causes Possible solution

The local telephone line

quality is poor.

End the call and dial again.

You may be switched to a

better-quality network link

phone line.

Unable to

select certain

features

Your service provider does

not support these features,

or you have not applied for

services that provide these

features.

Contact your service

provider.

Cannot charge

the battery

The battery or battery

charger is damaged. Contact the dealer.

The phone’s temperature is

below 0 °C or higher than

45 °C.

Adjust the battery charging

environment to avoid

extremes of temperature.

The contact between the

battery and charger is poor.

Check all connectors to

ensure that all connections

have been properly made.

Shortened

standby time

The standby time is related

to your service provider

system configuration. The

same phone used with

different service providers’

systems will not provide

exactly the same length of

standby time.

If you are located in an area

where signaling is weak,

temporarily power off the

phone.

The battery is depleted. In

high temperature

environments, battery life

will be shortened.

Contact the dealer to

change a new battery.

149

Problem Possible causes Possible solution

If you are not able to

connect to the network, the

phone will continue to send

out signals as it attempts to

locate a base station. Doing

so consumes battery power

and will consequently

shorten standby time.

Change your location to one

where the network is

accessible, or temporarily

turn off your phone.

Cannot turn

your phone on

Battery power has been

depleted.

Recharge the phone’s

battery.

Unable to

connect to the

network

The nano-SIM card is

invalid.

Contact your service

provider.

You are not within the

network’s service area.

Check the service area with

your service provider.

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 15 mm. Although the SAR is determined at the highest

152

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 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.

Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating

positions accepted by the FCC with the device transmitting at

its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands.

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

www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid after searching on FCC ID:

SRQ-N9517.

For this device, the highest reported SAR value for usage against

the head is 0.84 W/kg, for usage near the body is 1.19 W/kg.

While there may be differences between the SAR levels of

various phones and at various positions, they all meet the

government requirement.

SAR compliance for body-worn operation is based on a

separation distance of 15 mm between the unit and the human

body. Carry this device at least 15 mm away from your body to

153

ensure RF exposure level compliant or lower to the reported

level. To support body-worn operation, choose the belt clips or

holsters that do not contain metallic components to maintain a

separation of 15 mm between this device and your body.

RF exposure compliance with any body-worn accessory that

contains metal was not tested nor 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

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:

154



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.

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 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

155

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

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

156

better/ higher of the two ratings. (Note that not all hearing devices

have telecoils in them.)

Your phone meets the M4/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.

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 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.

164

Hospitals

Turn 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

Turn 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

onboard the aircraft. If your device offers a ‘flight mode’, this must

be enabled prior to boarding an aircraft.

Interference in Cars

Please note that because of possible interference with 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.
