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.
Do not change the built-in rechargeable battery in your phone by yourself. The battery can only be changed by ZTE or a ZTE authorized service provider.
WARNINGS!
Use only ZTE-approved chargers and USB Type-C™ cables.
The use of unapproved accessories could damage your phone or cause the battery to explode.
Do not remove the back cover. The battery is not removable.
Removal may cause fire or explosion.
NOTE: Use the USB Type-C charger that comes in-box with your
phone to charge the battery. It’s specially built to support
Qualcomm® Quick Charge™ 2.0.
1. Connect the adapter to the charging port.
12
Page 13
2. Connect the charger to a standard AC wall outlet. If the phone is on, you’ll see a charging icon, such as or , appear in
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.
13
Page 14
This device contains a non-removable battery. Attempting to remove will void your warranty and could cause serious injury. Do not damage, alter, or try to remove the battery.
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 Battery saver feature in Settings. Reduce the screen backlight time. Lower the screen brightness. Turn auto-sync, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth 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; each query drains your battery.
Powering Your Phone On/Off
Press and hold the Power Key to turn on your phone. To turn it off, press and hold the Power Key to open the
options menu. Tap Power off.
14
Page 15
