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.
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 pin/
pattern/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:
Power Off your device. Press and hold the Volume Up key, then press the power key.
Select Recovery Mode > Factory Reset

Screen control

- Touch: Touch items on screen to open apps, select options or use the keyboard.
- Swipe or slide: Slide your finger across the screen to flick between ‘pages’ or scroll
- Touch & hold: Touch & hold (long press) on some items to get additional menus.
- Drag: Drag items such as App icons and widgets to move them on the screen.
- Switch between landscape mode and portrait mode: Rotate your phone sideways to
view in landscape mode in some applications. This can be useful to enlarge the keyboard
for example, or view landscape pictures in Gallery.
- Pinch zoom: In some apps (such as Maps, Browser, and Gallery) use two fingers on the
screen spreading them apart to zoom in and pinching to zoom out.

Volume Controls
The volume keys work in different ways depending on which application or menu you are
in.

controlled by All, Priority, or None.
During a Call

Alarm Setting Application
If you are setting an Alarm, pressing the Volume keys will change the Alarm volume, so be

sets its own volume. You can also review this under Alarm > Options > Settings.
