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

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 > > 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 is not plugged in.
31
If you change your mind about encrypting your phone, touch
.
WARNING!
Data may be lost if you interrupt the encryption process.
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 the phone in order 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.
156
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.

make sure all connections
have been properly made.
157
Problem Possible causes Possible solution
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 signalling 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.
Cannot turn
your phone on
Battery power has been
depleted.
Recharge the phone’s
battery.

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
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
162
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 0.788 W/kg and when worn on
the body, as described in this user guide, is 1.152 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-ZTEBLADEVEC
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
a minimum of 1.0 cm from the body. Use of other
enhancements may not ensure compliance with FCC RF
exposure guidelines. If you do no t use a body-worn accessory
and are not holding the device at the ear, position the handset a
minimum of 1.0 cm from your body when the device is switched
on.
163
