1. Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the hands-free car kit for your ZTE mobile phone. The hands­free kit provides a safe and convenient way to receive and make calls while on the move.
The choice of external and internally mounted car antennas provides increased gain and
coverage for areas where reception might be limited thereby extending the useable area of
your mobile phone service. Before installing or using the hands-free kit please read and
understand the manual thoroughly. It is recommended that you read the complete guide
before attempting installation.

Pay attention to traffic regulations and personal safety.

Always obey the local traffic regulations. Do not allow yourself to be
distracted by an incoming call and do not dial numbers while driving.
Use of your handsfree kit while driving could be in breach of the law
and you may be liable to a fine. Always keep your eyes on the road and
be mindful of traffic conditions. If you need to dial a number you
should pull off the road and bring the vehicle to a complete stop in a
safe place away from traffic.

your vehicle electrical system so you should seek professional

5. Installation Guide

1. Before making any wiring changes switch off the car ignition.

2. Locate an accessories power cable that is switched off when the ignition is off.
(eg if the car stereo switches off when you remove the ignition key then connect the
hands free kit to the same power line).

3. Note some car stereos have a PIN number that is activated when you remove the
battery supply. Please check your manual before removing the power from the car
radio unit.

4. Find a suitable position to fix the handset cradle. The holder should be close
enough to the driver to allow the screen to be read but should not interfere with
driving or controls.

5. Be careful not to install the cradle where it might interfere with air bag
deployment.

Typical Installation

5

Cradle Installation

Secure bracket with 4 screws provided on a suitable position in the car, then release
the screw at the middle of swivel mount which can be adjusted to various positions,
then lock swivel mount to the matched disk on the back of cradle and fix it with a
screw. Finally tighten the middle screw when you find a suitable position.

This instruction is also available for concealed bracket installation.

6

Main Unit Installation

Find a suitable place to locate the main unit. The cables from the cradle to the main
unit are approximately 1.5m long but you should check the cable run to make sure
it reaches before completing the installation. Typical locations are under the
passenger seat, in the passenger footwell or behind the central console. Do not
locate in the drivers footwell where the box could interfere with access to the
pedals.

Fix the main unit using the screws provided

External Speaker Installation

Find a suitable place to locate the external speaker. The far side of the passenger
footwell is usually ideal but make sure the cable will reach the main unit (1.5m).
Position the speaker pointing towards the driver and a reasonable distance from the
microphone.

7

Speaker Mounting Bracket

Secure the bracket using the adhesive pad and the screws provided.

Carefully attach the speaker box to the mounting bracket as shown.

External Microphone Installation

Mount the microphone at head height on the driver's side pillar. Secure the
microphone using the adhesive pad and point the microphone towards the driver's
head position. Run the cable underneath the trim to conceal it.

8

Main Unit Cable Installation

Connect the red wire to a +12 V DC accessories supply which is normally off when
the ignition is off. This is to protect the car battery from discharging when the
engine is switched off. Normally the car radio, fan controls, rear demister etc are
switched off by the ignition switch so try and use one of these supplies.

The green and yellow wires are optional to connect the handsfree kit to the car
radio mute facility (if provided). The yellow wire connects to ground mute and the
green wire connects to +5V mute. Refer to your stereo manual for further
instructions.

For example:

Connect the Mute cable to the car radio of ISO standard connector as shown

below.

Some versions (zero install) have a cigarette lighter plug for easier installation.
Simply plug into your lighter socket.

Connect the cradle, speaker and microphone cables into the main unit and connect
the external antenna to the cable provided. All the connectors have unique fittings
so it is not possible to make any connection errors.

Installation Notes

Install the speaker away from the microphone to avoid feedback and to get
best possible voice quality.

Make sure all the wires will reach the main unit before fixing the accessories
Hide the cables under carpet and trim and do not run cables near the driver's

pedals or other controls.

6. Operation

After completing the installation carefully insert your handset into the cradle:

● Open and rotate the rubber socket covers for the charger port and the

antenna port.

● Connect the mini D plug first, then insert the handset into the cradle.

● Push the clamp buttons together to hold your handset securely in place.

The car kit icon will display on the handset screen showing the handsfree kit is
connected.

Switch on the ignition and make a test call to check the speaker and microphone
are working. If not then make sure you have connected all the connectors into the
main unit.
