16

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 screen will tell you the
exact battery level each time you wake up your phone.

WARNING!

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

CAUTION:

Do not change the built-in rechargeable battery in your phone by
yourself. The battery can only be changed by ZTE or ZTE
authorised service provider.

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.

17

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 on

after charging the phone for at least 10 minutes. Contact
customer service if you still cannot power on the phone after
prolonged charging.

Extending the Battery Life

usage and GPS functionality can drain your battery. You can
follow the helpful tips below to conserve your battery power:

 Reduce the screen backlight time.

18

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

Protecting Your Phone With Encryption

You can encrypt all the data on your phone: Google Accounts,
application data, music and other media, downloaded information,
and so on. If you do, you must enter a numeric PIN or a
password each time you power on your phone.

WARNING!

Encryption is irreversible. The only way to revert to an
unencrypted phone is to perform a factory data reset which
erases all your data.

Encryption provides additional protection in case your phone is
stolen and may be required or recommended in some
organizations. Consult your system administrator before turning it
on. In many cases the PIN or password you set for encryption is
controlled by the system administrator.

Before turning on encryption, prepare as follows:

 Set a lock screen PIN or password.
 Charge the battery.
 Keep the phone connected to the charger.
 Schedule an hour or more for the encryption process. You

must not interrupt it or you will lose some or all of your data.

When you're ready to turn on encryption:

1. Touch Settings > Security > Encrypt phone on the Home
Screen.

2. Read the information about encryption carefully.
The Encrypt phone button is dimmed if your battery is not

28

charged or your phone is not plugged in.
If you change your mind about encrypting your phone, touch

the Back Key.

WARNING!

If you interrupt the encryption process, you will lose data.

3. Touch Encrypt phone.

4. Enter your lock screen PIN or password and touch Next.

5. Touch Encrypt phone again.
The encryption process starts and displays its progress.

Encryption can take an hour or more, during which time your
phone may restart several times.

When encryption is completed, you're prompted to enter your
PIN or password.

Subsequently you must enter your PIN or password each time
you power on your phone in order to decrypt it.
