Third-party Applications Statement

During the installation process of some third-party applications, issues of repeated restart

or abnormal operation of software might be caused by incompatibility of the third-party

applications rather than the phone.

Installation of a third-party ROM or non-official operating system (commonly called ‘rooting’

your device) might bring unwanted security risks and may make your device inoperable.

ZTE Corporation will not be liable for the security threats brought by upgrade of the

operating system.

System Recovery for lost passwords

If you have set a device PIN, Pattern or Password lock and have lost or forgotten your code

there are two possible solutions.

1. If you have setup a Google Account (your G Mail account) then enter the wrong

password 5 times to be prompted for your Google Account Password to open your device.

2. If you have not set up a Google Account in your handset then perform a factory reset:

Charging the Battery

Connect the charger to the phone using the USB cable provided and plug the charger into

a standard power socket. Only use the approved charger and USB lead.

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

• Do not force the connector into the charger jack.

• Be careful not to trip over or pull harshly on the charger lead when it is plugged in.

Physical damage to the charger port is not covered under warranty.

• 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.

Tips to maximise battery life

• After 2-3 charge / discharge cycles the battery life will improve. From then on use top up

charging to recharge frequently and 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 and heavy handset use the battery life is reduced.

• Turn off Bluetooth and Wi-Fi when not in use, and set the screen brightness to automatic

to maximise battery life.

Screen control

You can control your phone through a series of operations on the screen.

- Touch: You can touch the items on the screen to select, to open the applications or to use

the keyboard to input characters.

- Swipe or slide: Quickly move your finger across the surface of the screen, without

pausing when you first touch (so you don't drag something instead).

- Touch & hold: You can touch & hold some items to get the item’s available menu.

- Drag: You can drag some items on the screen to realize some operations.

- Switch between landscape mode and portrait mode: You can switch to the landscape

mode by rotating your phone. The landscape mode is only valid under some interfaces,

such as the text input interface, the message viewing interface, etc.

- Pinch: In some apps (such as Maps, Browser, and Gallery), you can zoom in and out by

placing two fingers on the screen at once and pinching them together (to zoom out) or

spreading them apart (to zoom in).
