A microSDXC card can be installed or removed while the phone is turned on. You need to unmount the microSDXC card before removing it. See Using the microSDXC Card as Portable

Storage.

WARNING!

To avoid damage to the phone, do not use any other kind of SIM cards, or any non-standard nano-SIM card cut from a SIM card. You can get a standard nano-SIM card from your service provider.

1. Insert the tip of the tray eject tool into the hole next to the nano-SIM/microSDXC card tray on the left side of the phone.

2. Place the nano-SIM/microSDXC card on the tray with the gold-colored contacts facing down. Then carefully slide the tray back into place.

nanoSIM 1

NOTE:

When two nano-SIM cards are installed, pay attention to the following restrictions.

 If one nano-SIM card connects to 4G LTE, the other card can

only connect to 3G or 2G networks.

 You can use either card for mobile data service. See Manage

the nano-SIM Cards on how to switch.

 If one card is connected to a phone call, the other card is

unreachable.

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 can show you the exact battery level on the status bar.

WARNING!

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.

CAUTION:

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

NOTE:

Use the charger that comes in-box with your phone to charge the battery. It’s specially built to support QuickCharge 2.0.

1. Connect the adapter to the charging jack.

2. Connect the charger to a standard AC power outlet. If the phone is on, you’ll see a charging icon, such as or ,

appear on the status bar.

3. Disconnect the charger when the battery is fully charged.

NOTE:

If the battery is extremely low, the phone may not power on even while charging. In this case, charge the phone at least for 20 minutes before trying to power on again. Contact the customer service if you still cannot power on the phone after prolonged charging.

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 Power manager feature in Settings.  Reduce the screen backlight time.  Lower the screen brightness.  Turn Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and auto-sync 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, and each query drains your battery.

down.
