14 NOTE: Some applications may require a microSDHC card to work normally or may store certain data on it. Therefore, it is recommended that you keep a microSDHC card installed and not remove or replace it randomly. 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 cables. The use of unapproved accessories could damage your phone or cause the battery to explode. CAUTION: Do not remove or change the built-in rechargeable battery in your phone by yourself. The battery can only be changed by ZTE or ZTE authorised service provider. 1.

NOTE: Screen lock options are listed in the approximate order of the strength of their security, starting with None, which provide no security. A pattern provides minimal security, although it can be more convenient than the stronger options.
23 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 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 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. 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
24 charged or your phone is 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.Enter your lock screen PIN or password and touch Next. 5.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 in order to decrypt it.

88 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.
89 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 link or phone line. Unable to select certain features Your service provider does not support these features, or you have not applied for services that provide these features.Contact your service provider. Battery not charging The battery or battery charger is damaged. Contact the dealer. The phone’s temperature is below 0°C or higher than 45 °C.Adjust the battery charging environment to avoid extremes of temperature.
90 Problem Possible causes Possible solution Poor contact between the battery and charger.Check all connectors to ensure that all connections have been properly made. Shortened standby time The standby time is related to your service provider system configuration. The same phone used with different service providers’ systems will 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. 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.
91 Problem Possible causes Possible solution Cannot turn your phone on Battery power has been depleted. Recharge the phone’s battery. SIM card error SIM card malfunction or damage. Take the SIM card to your service provider for testing. SIM card inserted improperly. Insert the SIM card properly. Debris on the SIM card contacts. Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the SIM card contacts. Unable to connect to the network SIM card invalid. Contact your service provider. You are not within the network’s service area.Check the service area with your service provider. Poor signal. Move to an open space, or if you are inside a building, move closer to a window.
92 Problem Possible causes Possible solution Cannot answer incoming calls You have activated the Call barring feature.
