Charging the battery
Your phone’s battery should have enough power for the phone to turn on,
nd a signal, and make a few calls. You should fully charge the battery as
soon as possible.
Warning! Use only ZTE-approved chargers and USB cables.
The use of unapproved accessories could damage your
phone or cause the battery to explode.
1. Connect the adapter to the charging/micro-USB 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 ,

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 trafc 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.

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.
During SAR testing, this device was set to transmit at its highest certied 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 10 mm (0.4 in.). Although the SAR is determined
at the highest certied 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 Specic Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC
is 1.6 W/kg.
This device is in compliance 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 specied 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 le 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-Z835.
For this device, the highest reported SAR value for usage against the head is
0.76 W/kg, for usage near the body is 1.12 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 10 mm between the unit and the human body. Carry this device at least
10 mm away from your body to ensure RF exposure level compliant with or
lower than the reported level. To support body-worn operation, choose belt
clips or holsters that do not contain metallic components, to maintain a
separation of 10 mm between this device and your body.
RF exposure compliance with any body-worn accessory that contains metal
was not tested and certied, and use of such body-worn accessory should
be avoided.
FCC compliance
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.
128 129
• 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 modications 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.
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 ratings for some
of their mobile phones to assist hearing device users in nding phones that
may be compatible with their hearing devices. Not all phones have been
rated. Phones that have been rated have a label 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 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 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.)
Your Z851 has been tested for hearing aid device compatibility and has
an M3/T3 rating.
Hearing devices may also be rated. Your hearing device manufacturer
or hearing health professional may help you nd this rating. For more
information about FCC Hearing Aid Compatibility, please go to
http://www.fcc.gov/cgb/dro.

people may be susceptible to blackouts or seizures (even if they have never
had one before) when exposed to ashing lights or light patterns such as
when playing games or watching video. If you have experienced seizures
or blackouts or have a family history of such occurrences, please consult a
physician. To reduce the risk of blackouts or seizures, you can use your phone
in a well-lit room and take frequent breaks.
Repetitive strain injuries
To minimize the risk of Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI) when texting or playing
games with your phone:
• Do not grip the phone too tightly.
• Press the buttons lightly.
• Use the special features that are designed to minimize pressing buttons,
such as Message Templates and Predictive Text.
• Take many breaks to stretch and relax.

Emergency calls
This phone, like any wireless phone, operates using radio signals, which
cannot guarantee connection in all conditions. Therefore, you must never rely
solely on any wireless phone for emergency communications.
Loud noise
This phone is capable of producing loud noises, which may damage your
hearing. Turn down the volume before using headphones, Bluetooth stereo
headsets or other audio devices.
Phone heating
Your phone may become warm during charging and during normal use.
Electrical safety
Accessories
Use only approved accessories. Do not connect with incompatible products
or accessories. Take care not to touch or allow metal objects, such as coins
or key rings, to contact or short-circuit in the battery terminals. Never puncture
the surface of the battery with sharp objects.
Connection to a car
Seek professional advice when connecting a phone interface to the vehicle
electrical system.
Faulty and damaged products
Do not attempt to disassemble the phone or its accessories. Only qualied
personnel can service or repair the phone or its accessories. If your phone
(or its accessories) has been submerged in water, punctured, or subjected
to a severe fall, do not use it until you have taken it to be checked at an
authorized service center.
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. 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
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.
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 “ight 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.
Explosive environments
Gas stations and explosive atmospheres
In locations with potentially explosive atmospheres, obey all posted signs to
turn off wireless devices such as your phone or other radio equipment. Areas
with potentially explosive atmospheres include fueling areas, below decks on
boats, fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities, and areas where the air
contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust, or metal powders.
Blasting caps and areas
Power off your mobile phone or wireless device when in a blasting area or in
areas posted with “power off two-way radios” or “electronic devices” to avoid
interfering with blasting operations.
