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.

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 adaptor to the charging jack. Ensure that the

adaptor is inserted with the correct orientation. Do not force

the connector into the charging jack.

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. In this case, try again

after charging the phone for at least 20 minutes. Contact the

customer service if you still cannot power on the phone after

prolonged charging.

Extending the Battery Life



Lower the screen brightness.



Turn Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and auto-sync off when not in use.

Upgrading the Phone Software.

Protecting Your Phone With Encryption

You can encrypt all the data on your phone: your accounts,

application data, music and other media, downloaded information,

and so on. If you do, you must draw an unlock pattern, enter a

numeric PIN or a 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 pattern, PIN or password you set for

encryption is controlled by the system administrator.

Before turning on encryption, prepare as follows:

●

Set a screen lock pattern, 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.

When you're ready to turn on encryption:

1. Touch the Home key > > 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'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. Draw your screen lock pattern or enter your PIN or password.

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 completed, you're prompted to draw the

unlock pattern, or enter your PIN or password.

Subsequently you must draw your unlock pattern, or enter your

PIN or password each time you power on your phone in order to

decrypt it.

Protecting Your Phone With Screen

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.

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

166

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

radiated 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

167

different from that to which the receiver is connected.

-Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV

technician for help.

FCC Note:

Caution: Changes or modifications not expressly

approved by the party responsible for compliance

could void the user‘s authority to operate the

equipment.

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

168

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 1.6W/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

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

169

after searching on

FCC ID: SRQ-Z852.

For this device, the highest reported SAR value for

usage against the head is 0.57 W/kg, for usage near

the body is 1.11 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

170

be avoided.

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

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

171

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.

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.
