13

WARNING!

To avoid damage to the phone, do not use any other kind of
SIM card, or any non-standard nano-SIM card cut from a SIM
card. You can get a standard nano-SIM card from your
service provider.

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. 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.

14

CAUTION:

Do not change the built-in rechargeable battery in your phone by
yourself. The battery can only be changed by ZTE or ZTE
authorized service provider.

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.

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.

15

Protecting Your Phone With Encryption

You can encrypt all the data on your phone: your accounts,
application data, music and other media, downloaded information,
and so on. If you do, you must enter a numeric PIN or a
password each time you power on your phone.

WARNING!

Encryption is irreversible. The only way to revert to an
unencrypted phone is to perform a factory data reset which
erases all your data.

Encryption provides additional protection in case your phone is
stolen and may be required or recommended in some
organizations. Consult your system administrator before turning it
on. In many cases the PIN or password you set for encryption is
controlled by the system administrator.

Before turning on encryption, prepare as follows:

 Set a lock screen PIN or password.
 Charge the battery.
 Keep the phone connected to the charger.

28

 Schedule an hour or more for the encryption process. You

must not interrupt it or you will lose some or all of your data.

When you're ready to turn on encryption:

1. Touch the Home key > > Settings > Security > Encrypt
phone.

2. Read the information about encryption carefully.
The ENCRYPT PHONE button is dimmed if your battery is

not charged or your phone is not plugged in.
If you change your mind about encrypting your phone, touch

the Back key.

WARNIN G!

If you interrupt the encryption process, you will lose data.

3. Touch ENCRYPT PHONE.

4. Enter your lock screen PIN or password and touch NEXT.

5. Touch ENCRYPT PHONE.

The encryption process starts. Encryption can take an hour or
more, during which time your phone may restart several times.

When encryption is completed, you're prompted to enter your
PIN or password.

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

29

Protecting Your Phone With Screen Pinning

You can use the screen pinning feature to keep an app in view,
so others cannot switch to other apps or access your personal
information.

1. Touch the Home key > > Settings > Security > Screen
pinning.

2. Touch the On/Off switch.

3. If you have set a screen lock, turn on the switch next to Lock
device when unpinning. You will need to draw the pattern or
enter the PIN/password after unpinning the screen to unlock
the phone.
