The microSDXC card can be installed and removed while the phone
is turned on. Unmount the microSDXC card before removing it.
1. Place your finger in the slot at the bottom of the back cover
to lift and remove the cover.
2. Hold your microSDXC card with the metal contacts facing down
and slide it into the microSDXC card slot.
NOTE: Some applications may require a microSDXC card to
store certain data on it and to work properly. Therefore, it is
recommended that you keep a microSDXC card installed and
not remove or replace it unnecessarily.
3. Press the cover gently back into place until you hear a click.

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 lock screen will show you the exact
battery level on the status bar each time you wake up your phone.
NOTE: To charge your ZMAX CHAMP™ LTE®, you must use the
USB Type-C™ cable and connector that is included with your
phone. The ZMAX CHAMP LTE can not be charged with a standard
Micro USB charger.
WARNING! Use only ZTE-approved chargers and cables.
The use of unapproved accessories could damage your phone or
cause the battery to explode.

Getting Started
1. Connect the adapter to the charging/USB Type-C port.
2. Connect the charger to a standard AC wall outlet. If the phone is on,
you’ll see a charging icon, such as or , appear in 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 customer service if you
still cannot power on the phone after prolonged charging.

Extending the Battery Life
Active applications, screen brightness levels, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi usage, and GPS
functionality can 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, 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.

Powering Your Phone On/Off
• Press and hold the Power/Lock Key to turn on your phone.
• To turn it off, press and hold the Power/Lock Key to open the options menu. Tap
Power off > OK.
NOTE: If the phone freezes or takes too long to respond, press and hold the Power/Lock
Key for about 10 seconds to power the phone off. Press and hold the Power/Lock Key to
turn the phone on again.

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

Poor reception

Possible Causes

Possible Solution

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.

Poor network link quality on the
part of your service provider.

End the call and dial again. You
may be switched to a betterquality network link or phone line.

FCC RF Exposure Information (SAR)

Don’t make or receive
handheld calls while driving.
Never text while driving.

Don’t use at gas stations.

Keep your phone at least
10 mm away from your ear or
body while making calls.

Your phone may produce a
bright or flashing light.

Small parts may cause
choking.

Don’t dispose of your phone
in fire.

Your phone can produce a
loud sound.

To prevent possible hearing
damage, do not listen at high
volume levels for long periods.

Avoid contact with anything
magnetic.

Avoid extreme temperatures.

Keep away from pacemakers
and other electronic medical
devices.

Avoid contact with liquids.
Keep your phone dry.

materials or liquids.

Don’t rely on your phone for
emergency communications.

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 0.4 inches
(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.
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.
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-Z917VL .
For this device, the highest reported SAR value for usage against the head is 0.48 W/kg,
for usage near the body is 0.88 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 0.4 inches
(10 mm) between the unit and the human body. Carry this device at least 0.4 inches
(10 mm) away from your body to ensure RF exposure level compliant or lower to the
105

For Your Safety
reported level. To support body-worn operation, choose the belt clips or holsters, which
do not contain metallic components, to maintain a separation of 0.4 inches (10 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 be avoided.

FCC Regulations
This device 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
must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired
operation.
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 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 manufacturer could

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 ratings for some of their mobile 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 have been rated have a label on the box. These ratings are not
guaranteed. Results will vary, depending on the level of immunity of your hearing device
and the degree of your 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 with hearing devices than phones that are not labeled. M4 is the better/
higher of the two ratings.
107

For Your Safety

For Your Safety
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
contain telecoils.)
Your Z917VL has been tested for hearing aid device compatibility and has an M4/T4 rating.
Hearing devices may also be measured for immunity to this type of interference. Your
hearing device manufacturer or hearing health professional may help you find results for
your hearing device.

wireless devices and other steps the FCC has taken to ensure that individuals with
disabilities have access to telecommunications services, please go to 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. Please consult your doctor and the device
manufacturers to determine if the operation of your phone may interfere with the
operation of your medical devices.

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 Equipment
Turn off your wireless device when requested to do so in hospitals, clinics or healthcare
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
