Some of the contents in this manual may differ from your phone depending on
the software of the phone. Actual color may vary.
Your phone is designed to make it easy for you to access a wide variety of
content. For your protection, we want you to be aware that some applications
that you enable may involve the location of your phone being shared. For
applications available through Cricket, we offer privacy controls that let you
decide how an application may use the location of your phone and other
phones on your account. However, the Cricket privacy tools do not apply
to applications available outside of Cricket. Please review the terms and
conditions and the associated privacy policy for each location-based service
to learn how location information will be used and protected. In addition, your
Cricket phone may be used to access the internet and to download, and/

Charging the battery
Your phone’s battery should have enough power for the phone to turn on,
nd 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 each time you wake up
your phone.
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
10 minutes. Contact customer service if you still cannot
power on the phone after prolonged charging.
1. Insert the charger’s connector into the charging port. Be sure to insert
the connector in the correct orientation. Do not force the connector into
the port.
2. Plug the charger into a standard AC wall outlet.
3. When the battery is fully charged, unplug the charger and disconnect it
from the phone.
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 a ZTE authorized service
provider.
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:

• 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

password.
Subsequently, you must enter your PIN or password each time you power on
your phone, to decrypt it.
