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.

WARNING!

Use only ZTE-approved chargers and cables. The use of
unapproved accessories could damage your phone or cause the
battery to explode.

WARNING!

Do not remove the back cover. The battery is not removable.
Removal may cause fire or explosion.

14

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 the

15

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

 Lower the screen brightness.

 Turn Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and auto-sync off when not in use.

using this function will periodically query the GPS satellites

for your current location, and each query drains your battery.

options menu and touch Shut down > OK.

NOTE:

If the phone freezes or takes too long to respond, you can press
