A QUICK LOOK AROUND YOUR DEVICE

GETTING STARTED

INSERT YOUR SIM CARD

1. Open the back cover using the thumb notch in the bottom left

corner:

2. Insert your SIM(s) card(s) carefully into the SIM slot(s) as shown

below. Note that the larger SIM slot is marked as SIM Slot 1 & the
smaller SIM slot (Micro SIM – 3FF) is marked as SIM Slot 2.

3. Expand the device memory with a microSD(HC) up to 32GB

(optional) by fitting it in the microSD card holder. See a tech bar
or salesman at Officeworks when you purchase the microSD card
to help fit the memory card. Or contact ZTE Australia with your
handset model via Facebook Message and we can provide a video
link of what to do.

4. The battery will only fit one way, just check the gold pads on the

battery line up with the gold springs in the phone.

5. Replace the battery cover and press to click into place.

SWITCH YOUR DEVICE ON OR OFF, CHARGE YOUR BATTERY

 Press and hold the Power Key to turn on your phone.
 To turn it off, press and hold the Power Key to

open the options menu.

CHARGE THE BATTERY

 Check the correct orientation of the lead, then insert the charger lead

carefully.

 Do not force the connector into the charger jack.
 Connect the charger to a standard AC wall outlet.
 Disconnect the charger when the battery is fully charged.
 If the phone is on, you’ll see the charging icon / on the status bar.
 If the battery is low, there will be a pop-up message on the screen. As

you charge your phone, the lock screen will tell you the battery level
each time you wake up your phone.

 On first use please charge the battery for 3-4 hours. It is better to keep

your battery topped up than to let it fully discharge.

Important Notes:

Only use the AC charger and USB lead supplied.
Insert the charger lead carefully.
Check the plug and socket are aligned correctly.
Do NOT use excessive force which may damage the USB port.
Be careful to avoid tripping on the lead whilst it is plugged in.
Physical damage to the USB port is NOT covered by warranty.
Normal charge time is 3-4 hours.
Do not leave on charge for more than 24hrs.
To maximise battery life limit multimedia functions.
Charge the battery between 0°C~45°C. Charge the battery promptly
when flat.
With poor network conditions (less than 2 bars) battery life is
reduced.
When not using the phone for long periods remove the battery.

TIPS TO MAXIMISE BATTERY LIFE

 After 2-3 charge / discharge cycles the battery life will improve. From

then on use top up charging to recharge frequently and always charge
promptly when flat.

 To avoid the battery entering a deep discharged state charge the

battery promptly when flat.

 If the battery is deeply discharged it can take 30 minutes to start

charging. Leave it on charge to recover the battery.

 Keep your handset and battery cool. High temperatures degrade the

battery more quickly.

 Normal charge time is 3-4 hours. Do not charge more than 24hrs.
 When not using the phone for long periods charge to approx 40% and

remove the battery.

 With low network signal conditions battery life is reduced.
 Turn off Bluetooth and Wi-Fi when not in use, and set the screen

brightness to automatic to maximise battery life.

SAFETY

GENERAL STATEMENT ON RF ENERGY

The phone is a low-power radio transmitter and receiver. When switched on it
intermittently transmits radio frequency (RF) energy (radio waves). The
transmit power level is optimised for best performance and automatically
reduces when there is good quality reception. Maximum power is only used at
the edge of network coverage so under most circumstances the power output
is very low. Under poor network conditions the phone transmits at a higher
power, may get hot and have a shorter battery life.

SPECIFIC ABSORPTION RATE (SAR)
The phone is designed not to exceed the limits for exposure to radio waves
recommended by the ICNIRP. The limits include safety margins designed to
assure the protection of all persons, regardless of age and health.
The guidelines measure the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit for
mobile devices is 2W/Kg. This device has been tested and approved to be
lower than the maximum allowed SAR value.
