– Using the microSDXC Card as Portable or Phone Storage).

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.

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.

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.

NOTE: If the phone freezes or takes too long to respond, press and hold the Power Key for about 10 seconds to restart the phone.

Setting Up Your Phone for the First Time

When you first power on your phone after you purchase it or reset it to factory settings (see Settings – Personal – Backup & Reset), you will need to set it up before using it.

1.Tap the language field to select the language you want, and tap LET'S GO.

2.Follow the prompts to set up your Wi-Fi connection, Google account, Google services, and other options.

NOTE: Users with low vision can tap Vision Settings on the initial setup screen to customize accessibility features.

Locking/Unlocking the Screen and Keys

Your phone allows you to quickly lock the screen and keys (put the phone into Sleep mode) when not in use and also to turn the screen back on and unlock it when you need it.

Locking the Screen and Keys

To quickly turn the screen off and lock the keys, press the

Power Key.

NOTE: To save battery power, the phone automatically turns off the screen after a certain period of time when you leave it idle. You will still be able to receive messages and calls while the phone screen is off.

Unlocking the Screen and Keys

1.Press the Power Key to turn the screen on.

2.Press and hold an empty area of the screen to unlock the phone, or

Press and hold to use Google voice commands.

Press and hold to open the camera.

Double-tap a notification to open the related app.

NOTE: If you have set a fingerprint, an unlock pattern, a PIN, or a password for your phone (see Personalizing – Protecting Your Phone With Screen Locks or Using Your Fingerprint), you’ll need to press your finger against the fingerprint sensor, draw the pattern, or enter the PIN/password to unlock your screen.

Using the Touch Screen

Your phone’s touch screen lets you control actions through a variety of touch gestures.

Tap – When you want to type using the on-screen keyboard, select on-screen items (such as application and settings icons), or press on-screen buttons, simply tap them with your finger.

Press and Hold – To open the available options for an item (for example, a message or link in a web page), press and hold the item.

Swipe or Slide – To swipe or slide means to quickly drag your finger vertically or horizontally across the screen.

Drag – To drag, press and hold your finger with some pressure before you start to move your finger. While dragging, do not release your finger until you have reached the target position.

Pinch – In some apps (such as Maps, web 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).

Rotate the Screen – For most screens, you can automatically change the screen orientation from portrait to landscape by turning the phone sideways.
