Installing a microSDHC Card

You have the option to install a microSDHC card of up to 32GB to expand your phone’s storage capacity. The microSDHC card can be installed and removed while the phone is turned on. Unmount the microSDHC card before removing it.

1. Insert the tray eject tool (or end of a paper clip) into the hole on the microSDHC card tray and pull the tray out.

2. Place a microSDHC card (not included) in the tray with the gold-colored contacts facing down.

NOTE: Some applications may require a microSDHC

card to work normally or may store certain data on it. Therefore, it is recommended that you keep a microSDHC card installed and not remove or replace it randomly.

3. Carefully slide the tray back in place.

Charging the Battery

When you ﬁrst get your new phone you’ll need to charge the battery. 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 remove or 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.

Connect the adapter to the charging port. Ensure that the adapter is inserted with the correct orientation. Do not force the connector into 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

, 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

Page 5

for at least 10 minutes. Contact 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:

• 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/O

• Press and hold the Power/Lock Key to turn on your phone.

• To turn it off, press and hold the Power/Lock Key to open the options menu. Tap Power off and then tap OK.

Restarting Your Phone

If the screen freezes or takes too long to respond, try pressing and holding the Power/Lock 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 and Reset), you may need to set it up before using it.

1. Tap the language ﬁeld, select the language you want, and tap Start.

2. Connect to a Wi-Fi network and tap Next.

3. Set the date, time, and time zone, or use date and time data provided by the network. Then tap Next.

4. If you have a Google™ account, tap Existing to sign in. Tap New to create a Google account or tap Not now to set up an account later.

5. Conﬁgure the Google location options and tap Next.

6. Enter your name, which the phone uses to personalize some apps, and then tap

7. You will be prompted to accept the Google terms of service. Tap Next to continue.

8. Tap Finish to complete the setup.

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.

To lock the screen and keys:

To quickly turn the screen off and lock the keys, press the Power/Lock 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.

To unlock the screen and keys:

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

2. Press and hold a blank area of the screen or tap and hold an application shortcut at the bottom of the screen to unlock the screen and open the application quickly.

NOTE: If you have set face unlock, an unlock pattern,

PIN, or password for your phone (see Personalizing – Protecting Your Phone With Screen Locks), you’ll be

prompted to look at the front camera, draw the pattern, or enter the PIN/password to unlock your phone.

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.

• Tap and Hold – To open the available options for an item (for example, a message or link in a web page), tap 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, 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.

NOTE: The Auto-rotate screen check box needs to

be selected for the screen orientation to automatically change. Press the Home Key > Apps icon > Settings > Display > Auto-rotate screen.

You can also access the screen rotation control by sliding down the status bar and tap LOCKED/AUTO ROTATE.

Protecting Your Phone With Screen Locks

You can protect your phone by creating a screen lock. When a screen lock is enabled, you need to tap and hold the screen, look at the front-facing camera, draw a pattern, or enter a numeric PIN or a password to unlock the phone’s screen and keys.

1. Press the Home Key > Apps icon > Settings > Security.

• Tap Face Unlock to let the phone capture your

face. You can unlock the screen by looking at the front camera. You also need to set a pattern or PIN in case the phone cannot recognize your face.

• Tap Pattern to create a pattern that you must draw to unlock the screen.

• Tap PIN or Password to set a numeric PIN or a password that you must enter to unlock the screen.

NOTE: Screen lock options are listed in the

approximate order of the strength of their security, starting with None and Long press, which provide no security. A pattern provides minimal security, although it can be more convenient than the stronger options.

IMPORTANT: If you forget the pattern you set, try

ﬁve times and tap Forgot pattern to sign in to the Google account you have added on the phone and reset the screen lock. You will need an active Internet connection. You can also upgrade the phone software (see Settings – System – About Phone).

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 more. If you do, you must enter a numeric PIN or 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. Press the Home Key > Apps icon > Settings > Security > Encrypt phone.

2. Read the information about encryption carefully. The Encrypt phone button is dimmed if your

battery is not charged or your phone is not plugged in. If you change your mind about encrypting your phone, press the Back Key.

WARNING! If you interrupt the encryption

process, you will lose data.

3. Tap Encrypt phone.

Enter your lock screen PIN or password and tap Next.

5. Tap 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.

Page 9

Personalizing

Knowing the Basics

When encryption is complete, you’ll be prompted to enter your PIN or password.

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

Radio Frequency (RF) Energy

This model phone meets the government’s requirements for exposure to radio waves.

This phone is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission of the U.S. Government:

The exposure standard for wireless mobile phones employs a unit of measurement known as the Speciﬁc Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is

1.6 W/kg. *Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions accepted by the FCC with the phone transmitting at its highest certiﬁed power level in all tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined at the highest certiﬁed power level, the actual SAR level of the phone while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is because the phone is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as to use only the power required to reach the network. In general, the closer you are to a wireless base station antenna, the lower the power output.

The highest SAR values for this model phone as reported to the FCC when tested for use at the ear and on the body are:

Head: 0.60 W/kg, Body: 1.11 W/kg

* In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile

phones used by the public is 1.6 watts/kg (W/kg) averaged over one gram of tissue. The standard incorporates a substantial margin of safety to give additional protection for the public and to account for any variations in measurements.

(Body-worn measurements differ among phone models, depending upon available enhancements and FCC requirements.)

While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various phones and at various positions, they all meet the government requirement.

The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model phone with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR information on this model phone is on ﬁle with the FCC and can be found under the Display Grant section of http://www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid/ after searching on FCC ID: SRQ-Z936L.

For body-worn operation, this phone has been tested and meets the FCC RF exposure guidelines for use with an accessory that contains no metal and positions the handset a minimum of 0.6 inches (15 mm) from the body. Use of other enhancements may not ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines. If you do not use a body-worn accessory and are not holding the phone at the ear, position the handset a minimum of

0.6 inches (15 mm) from your body when the phone is switched on.

FCC Compliance

This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

Hearing Aid Compatibility (HAC) Regulations for Mobile Phones

In 2003, the FCC adopted rules to make digital wireless telephones compatible with hearing aids and cochlear implants. Although analog wireless phones do not usually cause interference with hearing aids or cochlear implants, digital wireless phones sometimes do because of electromagnetic energy emitted by the phone’s antenna, backlight, or other components. Your phone is compliant with FCC HAC regulations (ANSI C63.19- 2011).

While some wireless phones are used near some hearing devices (hearing aids and cochlear implants), users may detect a buzzing, humming, or whining noise. Some hearing devices are more immune than others to this interference noise, and phones also vary in the amount of interference they generate. The wireless telephone industry has developed ratings for some of their mobile phones to assist hearing device users in ﬁnding phones that may be compatible with their hearing devices. Not all phones have been rated. Phones that have been rated have a label on the box. These ratings are not guaranteed. Results will vary, depending on the level of immunity of your hearing device and the degree of your hearing loss. If your hearing device happens to be vulnerable to interference, you may not be able to use a rated phone successfully. Trying out the phone with your hearing device is the best way to evaluate it for your personal needs.

This phone has been tested and rated for use with

hearing aids for some of the wireless technologies that it uses. However, there may be some newer wireless technologies used in this phone that have not been tested yet for use with hearing aids. It is important to try the different features of this phone thoroughly and in different locations, using your hearing aid or cochlear implant, to determine if you hear any interfering noise. Consult your service provider or the manufacturer of this phone for information on hearing aid compatibility. If you have questions about return or exchange policies, consult your service provider or phone retailer.

M-Ratings: Phones rated M3 or M4 meet FCC requirements and are likely to generate less interference with hearing devices than phones that are not labeled. M4 is the better/higher of the two ratings.

T-Ratings: Phones rated T3 or T4 meet FCC requirements and are likely to be more usable with a hearing device’s telecoil (“T Switch” or “Telephone Switch”) than unrated phones. T4 is the better/higher of the two ratings. (Note that not all hearing devices contain telecoils.)

Your Z936L has been tested for hearing aid device compatibility and has an M4/T4 rating.

Hearing devices may also be measured for immunity to this type of interference. Your hearing device manufacturer or hearing health professional may help you ﬁnd results for your hearing device.

Radio Frequency Interference

General Statement on Interference

Care must be taken when using the phone in close proximity to personal medical devices, such as pacemakers and hearing aids.

Pacemakers

Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum separation of 15 cm be maintained between a mobile phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker. To achieve this, use the phone on the opposite ear to your pacemaker and do not carry it in a breast pocket.

Hearing Aids

People with hearing aids or other cochlear implants may experience interfering noises when using wireless devices or when one is nearby. The level of interference will depend on the type of hearing device and the distance from the interference source. Increasing the separation between them may reduce the interference. You may also consult your hearing aid manufacturer to discuss alternatives.

Medical Devices

Please consult your doctor and the device manufacturer to determine if operation of your phone may interfere with the operation of your medical device.

Hospitals

Turn off your wireless device when requested to do so in hospitals, clinics or health care facilities. These requests are designed to prevent possible interference with sensitive medical equipment.
