Charging the Battery
When you get your new phone, you’ll need to charge the battery.
If the battery is low, there will be a pop-up message on the
screen. As you charge your phone, the screen will tell you the
exact battery level each time you wake up your phone.
WARNING! Use only ZTE approved chargers and cables. The
use of unapproved accessories could damage your phone or

or ZTE authorised service provider.
1. Connect the adapter to the charging jack. Ensure that the
adapter is inserted with the correct orientation. Do not force

2. Connect the charger to a standard AC wall outlet. If the phone
16
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 10
minutes. Contact customer service if you still cannot power
on the phone after prolonged charging.
Extending the Battery Life
Active applications, screen brightness levels, Wi-Fi usage and
GPS functionality and other certain features can all 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, portable hotspot, 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.

and holding the Power Key for about 8 seconds to restart the
phone.

If you touch PIN or Password, you’re prompted to set a
numeric PIN or a password you must enter to unlock your
screen.
IMPORTANT: Screen lock options are listed in the approximate
order of the strength of their security, starting with None and
Long press, which provide no security. A pattern provides
minimal security, although it can be more convenient than the
stronger options.
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 so on. 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:
1. Set a lock screen PIN or password.
2. Charge the battery.
3. Keep the phone connected to the charger.
26
4. 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:
5. Touch the Home Key > Menu Key > System settings >
Security > Encrypt phone.
6. Read the information about encryption carefully.
The Encrypt phone button is dimmed if your battery's 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.
7. Touch Encrypt phone.
8. Enter your lock screen PIN or password and touch Next.
9. Touch 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 completed, you're 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.

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
can not 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.
139
Problem
Possible causes
Possible solution
Echo or
noise
Poor network link quality
on the part of your
service provider.
End the call and dial
again. You may be
switched to a
better-quality network
link or phone line.
Poor local telephone line
quality.
End the call and dial
again. You may be
switched to a
better-quality network

140
Problem
Possible causes
Possible solution
Shortened
standby time
The standby time is
related to your service
provider system
configuration. The same

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.
Use a new battery.
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.

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
151
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 ‘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.
Explosive Environments
Gas Stations and Explosive Atmospheres
In locations with potentially explosive atmospheres, obey all
152
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 power off “two-way radios” or
“electronic devices” to avoid interfering with blasting operations.
Radio Frequency (RF) Exposure
This device meets the government’s requirements for exposure
to radio waves.
This device 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 U.S.
Government:
The exposure standard for wireless mobile devices employs a
unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or
SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/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. Although the SAR is
determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR
a minimum of 1.0 cm from the body. Use of other
153
level of the device while operating can be well below the
maximum value. This is because the device is designed to
operate at multiple power levels so as to use only the poser
required to reach the network. In general, the closer you are to
a wireless base station antenna, the lower the power output.
The highest SAR value for the device as reported to the FCC
when tested for use at the ear is 0.37 W/kg and when worn on
the body, as described in this user guide, is 1.43 W/kg
(Body-worn measurements differ among device models,
depending upon available enhancements and FCC
requirements.)
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of
various devices and at various positions, they all meet the
government requirement.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this
device with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance
with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR information on this
device is on file with the FCC and can be found under the
Display Grant section of http://www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid/ after
searching on:
FCC ID: SRQ-Z970
For body worn operation, this device has been tested and
meets the FCC RF exposure guidelines for use with an
accessory that contains no metal and the positions the handset
enhancements may not ensure compliance with FCC RF
exposure guidelines. If you do no t use a body-worn accessory
minimum of 1.0 cm from your body when the device is switched
154
and are not holding the device at the ear, position the handset a
on.
FCC Compliance

NOTE:
This equipment 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
155
to correct the interference by one or more of the following
measures:

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.
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-
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
2011). While some wireless phones are used
156
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
better/ higher of the two ratings. (Note that not all hearing devices
have telecoils in them.)
157
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.
