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.
