Getting Started

Installing the Nano-SIM Card and microSDXC Card

You can use one nano-SIM card and one microSDXC card (optional, not included)..

Power off your phone before installing or replacing the nano-SIM card or microSDXC card.. Unmount the microSDXC card before removing it..

Warning! To avoid damage to the phone, do not use other kinds of SIM cards or

a non-standard nano-SIM card cut from a SIM card.. You can obtain the standard nano-SIM card from your service provider..

1.Insert the tip of the tray eject tool into the hole on the card tray.. Pull the tray out..

2.Place the nano-SIM card and the microSDXC card on the tray with the gold-colored contacts facing down..

3.Carefully slide the tray back into place..

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..

CONTENTS

GETTING STARTED

If the battery is low, there will be a pop-up message on the screen.. As you charge your phone, the screen will show you the exact battery level on the Status Bar..

This device contains a nonremovable battery. Attempting to remove will void your warranty and could cause serious injury. Do not damage, alter, or try to remove the battery.

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 attempt to change the built-in rechargeable battery yourself.. The battery can only be changed by ZTE or a ZTE-authorized service provider..

Note: Use the USB Type-C™ charger that comes in-box with your phone to charge the battery..

1.Connect the adapter to the charging port..

2.Connect the charger to a standard AC wall outlet.. If the phone is on, you’ll see a charging icon, such asor, 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

•To turn it off, press and hold the Power key to open the options menu.. Tap Power off..

Note: If the phone freezes or takes too long to respond, press and hold the Power key for about 10 seconds to restart the phone..

Setting Up Your Phone for the First Time

Tap the language field to select a language. Then tap LET’S GO and follow the prompts to set up your Wi-Fi connection, Google services, name, device protection, and other options..

Note: Users with low vision can tap Vision Settings on the initial setup screen to customize accessibility features..

GETTING STARTED
