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 can show you
the exact battery level on the status bar.

WARNING!

Use only ZTE-approved chargers and micro-USB 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.

NOTE:

Use the charger that comes in-box with your phone to charge

the battery.

1. Connect the adapter to 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.

15

3. Disconnect the charger when the battery is fully charged.

NOTE:

If the battery is extremely low, the phone may not power on
even while charging. In this case, charge the phone at least
for 20 minutes before trying to power on again. Contact the
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:

• Use the Power manager feature in Settings.

• Reduce the screen backlight time.

• Lower the screen brightness.

• Turn Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and auto-sync 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, and each query

drains your battery.
