Installing the Battery and a microSDHC Card

Power off your phone before installing or replacing the battery. You have the option to install a microSDHC card of up to 32 GB 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. Place your ﬁnger in the slot at the bottom of the back cover to lift and remove the cover.

2. Insert the battery by aligning the contacts on the battery with the gold contacts in the battery compartment. Gently push down on the battery until it clicks into place.

WARNING! Do not handle a damaged or leaking

Li-Ion battery as you can be burned.

3. Hold your microSDHC card with the metal contacts facing down and slide it into the microSDHC card slot until you hear a click.

4. Press the cover gently back into place until you hear a click.

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.

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.

Getting Started

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.

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.

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.

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: .87 W/kg, Body: 1.41 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-Z753G.

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 0.4 inches (10 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

0.4 inches (10 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.

For Your Safety

CAUTION: Changes or modiﬁcations not expressly

approved by the manufacturer could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found

to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

• Increase the separation between the equipment and

receiver.

• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit

different from that to which the receiver is connected.

• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV

technician for help.

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 Z753G has been tested for hearing aid device compatibility and has an M3/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.

For additional information about the FCC’s actions with regard to hearing aid compatible wireless devices and

other steps the FCC has taken to ensure that individuals with disabilities have access to telecommunications services, please go to www.fcc.gov/cgb/dro.

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.
