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
nano-SIM card tray on the left side of the phone.

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.
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 on the lock screen. See Locking/Unlocking the
Screen and Keys.
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 change the built-in rechargeable battery in your phone by
yourself. The battery can only be changed by ZTE or ZTE
authorized service provider.
1. Connect the adapter to the charging jack. Ensure that the
adapter is inserted with the correct orientation. Do not force
the connector into the charging jack.
17
2. Connect the charger to a standard AC power outlet. If the

FCC 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 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 employs a unit of
measurement 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.
158
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 FCC ID:
SRQ-ZTEBLADEV8Q.
For this device, the highest reported SAR value for usage against
the head is 0.727 W/kg, for usage near the body is 1.250W/kg.
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of
various phones and at various positions, they all meet the
government requirement.
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 or lower to the reported
level. To support body-worn operation, choose the 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 nor certified, and using such
body-worn accessory should be avoided.
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 interference, and (2) this device
159
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.
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 party
responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to
operate the equipment.
160
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
for some of the wireless technologies that it uses. However, there
may be some newer wireless technologies used in this phone
161
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 MX/TX 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.

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.
171
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,
