open the options menu.

CHARGE THE BATTERY

• Check the correct orientation of the lead, then insert the charger lead

carefully.

• Do not force the connector into the charger jack.

• Connect the charger to a standard AC wall outlet.

• Disconnect the charger when the battery is fully charged.

• If the phone is on, you’ll see the charging icon / on the status bar.

• If the battery is low, there will be a pop-up message on the screen. As

you charge your phone, the lock screen will tell you the battery level
each time you wake up your phone.

• On first use please charge the battery for 3-4 hours. It is better to keep

your battery topped up than to let it fully discharge.

7

Important Notes:

• Only use the AC charger and USB lead supplied.

• Insert the charger lead carefully.

• Check the plug and socket are aligned correctly.

• Do NOT use excessive force which may damage the USB port.

• Be careful to avoid tripping on the lead whilst it is plugged in.

• Physical damage to the USB port is NOT covered by warranty.

• Normal charge time is 3-4 hours.

• Do not leave on charge for more than 24hrs.

• To maximise battery life limit multimedia functions.

• Charge the battery between 0°C~45°C. Charge the battery

promptly when flat.

• With poor network conditions (less than 2 bars) battery life is

reduced.

• When not using the phone for long periods remove the battery.

8

TIPS TO MAXIMISE BATTERY LIFE

• After 2-3 charge / discharge cycles the battery life will improve.

• Use regular top up charging rather than letting the battery fully

discharge.

• Always charge promptly when flat.

• To avoid the battery entering a deep discharged state charge the

battery promptly when flat.

• If the battery is deeply discharged it can take 30 minutes to start

charging. Leave it on charge to recover the battery.

• Keep your handset and battery cool. High temperatures degrade the

battery more quickly.

• Normal charge time is 3-4 hours. Do not charge more than 24hrs.

• When not using the phone for long periods charge to approx 40% and

remove the battery.

• With low network signal conditions battery life is reduced.

SAFETY

GENERAL STATEMENT ON RF ENERGY

The phone is a low-power radio transmitter and receiver. When switched on it
intermittently transmits radio frequency (RF) energy (radio waves). The
transmit power level is optimised for best performance and automatically
reduces when there is good quality reception. Maximum power is only used at
the edge of network coverage so under most circumstances the power output
is very low. Under poor network conditions the phone transmits at a higher
power, may get hot and have a shorter battery life.

SPECIFIC ABSORPTION RATE (SAR)
The phone is designed not to exceed the limits for exposure to radio waves
recommended by the ICNIRP. The limits include safety margins designed to
assure the protection of all persons, regardless of age and health.
The guidelines measure the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit for
mobile devices is 2W/Kg. This device has been tested and approved to be
lower than the maximum allowed SAR value and the result is published on
http://www.zte.com.au/telstra/T815.htm
