Getting Started
Installing a Nano-SIM Card and a
microSDXC™ Card (Not Included)
Power off your phone before installing or removing the nano-SIM
card or the microSDXC card. Unmount the microSDXC card
before removing it (see Connecting to Networks and Devices –
Using the microSDXC Card as Portable or Phone Storage).
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 the tip of the tray eject tool into the hole next to the card
tray and pull the tray out.
11
2. Place the nano-SIM card and the microSDXC card on the tray,
as shown.
3. Carefully slide the tray back into place.
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 a ZTE
authorized service provider.
WARNINGS!
Use only ZTE-approved chargers and USB Type-C™ cables.
The use of unapproved accessories could damage your
phone or cause the battery to explode.
microSDXC
card
nano-SIM card
12
Do not remove the back cover. The battery is not removable.
Removal may cause fire or explosion.
NOTE: Use the USB Type-C charger that comes in-box with your
phone to charge the battery. It’s specially built to support
Qualcomm
®
Quick Charge™ 2.0.
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
13
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:
Use the Battery saver feature in Settings.
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.
This device contains a non-removable battery.
Attempting to remove will void your warranty and could
cause serious injury. Do not damage, alter, or try to
remove 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.
150

Radio Frequency (RF) Energy
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.
156
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 0.4 inches (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 the Display Grant section of
www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid after searching on
157
FCC ID: SRQ-Z610DL.
For this device, the highest reported SAR value for usage
against the head is 0.93 W/kg, and for usage near the body is
1.06 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 0.4 inches (10 mm) between the unit and
the human body. Carry this device at least 0.4 inches (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 0.4 inches (10 mm)
between this device and your body.
RF exposure compliance with any body-worn accessory that
contains metal was not tested and certified, and use of such
body-worn accessory should be avoided.
FCC Regulations
This device 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 equipment has been tested and found to comply with the
158
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.
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for
help.
CAUTION: Changes or modifications not expressly approved
by the manufacturer 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.
159
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. 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.
This phone has been tested and rated for use with hearing aids
160
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 contain telecoils.)
Your Z610DL has been tested for hearing aid device
compatibility and has an M4/T3 rating.
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 with regard
to hearing aid compatible wireless devices and other steps the
161
FCC has taken to ensure that individuals with disabilities have
access to telecommunications services, please go to
www.fcc.gov/cgb/dro.

Care must be taken when using your phone in close proximity to
personal medical devices, such as pacemakers and hearing aids.
Please consult your doctor and the device manufacturers to
determine if the operation of your phone may interfere with the
operation of your medical devices.
Pacemakers
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum
separation of 6 inches (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.
169
