16
NOTE:
Some applications may require a microSDHC card to store
certain data on it and to work properly. Therefore, it is
recommended that you keep a microSDHC card installed and
not remove or replace it unnecessarily.
3. Replace the back cover.
17
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.
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.
18
2. Connect the charger to a standard AC power outlet. If the
phone 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 20 minutes. Contact
customer service if you still cannot power on the phone after
prolonged charging.
19
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:
ï‚· Reduce the screen backlight time.
ï‚· Lower the screen brightness.
ï‚· Turn Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and auto-sync off when not in use.
ï‚· Disable the GPS function when not in use. Most applications
using this function will periodically query the GPS satellites
for your current location, and each query drains your battery.
Powering On/Off
ï‚· Press and hold the Power key to turn on your phone.
ï‚· To turn it off, press and hold the Power key to open the
options menu and touch Power off.
Setting Up for the First Time
When you first power on your phone after you purchase it or
reset it to factory settings (see Backup and Reset), you need to
do some settings before using it.
Flick the language field to select the language. Then follow the
prompts to set up Wi-Fi, Google account, Google location and
other options.
20

Keys

To save battery power, the phone automatically turns off the

1. Press the Power key to turn the screen on.
2. Touch and hold the screen to unlock.
