Getting Started
Installing the nano-SIM Card (Included)
Power off your phone before installing and removing the
nano-SIM card.
NOTE: Your phone will come with the nano-SIM
card already installed.
WARNING! To avoid damage to the phone,
do not use any other kind of SIM card, or any
non-standard nano-SIM card cut from a SIM
card. You can get a standard nano-SIM card
from your service provider.
1. Insert your fingernail into the
bottom left corner of the back
cover and lift it up gently.
2. Hold the nano-SIM card with the cut
corner oriented as shown and slip
them into the card slot.
3. Replace the back cover.
11
Installing the Battery and
a microSDHC™ Card (Not
included)
Power off your phone before installing and
removing the battery. You have the option to
install a microSDHC card of up to 32GB to
expand your phone's storage capacity.
The microSDHC card can be installed and
removed while the phone is turned on.
Unmount the microSDHC card before
removing it.
1. Insert your fingernail into the bottom
left corner of the back cover and lift it
up gently.
2. Insert the battery by aligning the metal contacts on the battery
with the metal contacts in the battery compartment. Gently
push down on the battery until it clicks into place.
WARNING! Do not handle a damaged
or leaking Li-lon battery as you can be
burned.
3. Hold your microSDHC card with the metal
contacts facing down and slide it into the
card slot.
12
NOTE: Some applications may require a microSDHC card to
store certain data on it and to work properly. Therefore, it is
recommended that you keep a microSDHC card installed and
not remove or replace it unnecessarily.
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.
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.
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 power 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.
NOTE: If the battery is extremely low, you may be unable to
power on the phone even when it is being charged. Contact
customer service if you still cannot power on the phone after
prolonged charging.
13
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.

29
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 more. 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 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.




30
When you’re ready to turn on encryption:

> Settings > Security > Encrypt
phone.
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, press the Back Key.
WARNING! If you interrupt the encryption process, you will lose
data.
3. Tap ENCRYPT PHONE.
4. Enter your lock screen PIN or password and tap NEXT.
5. Tap 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 complete,
you’ll be 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.

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
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.
This device is complied with SAR for general population
152
/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 the Display Grant section of
www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid after searching on FCC ID:
SRQ-Z557BL.
For this device, the highest reported SAR value for usage
against the head is 0.63 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 requirements.
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
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 15 mm between this device and your body.
RF exposure compliance with any body-worn accessory, which
contains metal, was not tested and certified, and use such
body-worn accessory should be avoided.
153
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:

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.


help.
154
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
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
155
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
better/ higher of the two ratings. (Note that not all hearing devices
have telecoils in them.)
Your phone meets the M4/T3 level rating.
156
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.
164
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.
