NOTE:

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

Installing the Battery (Included)

1. Insert your ngernail into the bottom left corner of the back

cover and lift it up gently.

2. Insert the battery by aligning the metal contacts on the bat-

tery with the metal contacts in the battery compartment. Gently push down on the battery until it clicks into place.

3. Replace the back cover.

Charging the Battery

Your phone’s battery should have enough power for the phone

to turn on, nd a signal, and make a few calls. You should fully

charge the battery as soon as possible. If the battery is low, a pop-up message will appear on the screen. As you charge your phone, the screen will show the exact battery level.

WARNINGS!

The use of unapproved accessories could damage your phone or cause the battery to explode.

Use only ZTE-approved chargers and cables.

1. Connect the adapter to the charging jack. Ensure that the

adapter is oriented correctly. Do not use force.

2. Connect the charger to a standard AC power outlet. If the

phone is on, you’ll see a charging icon, such as or , 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 for at least 20 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 WiFi 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 applica-

tions using this function will periodically query the GPS satellites for your current location; each query drains your battery.

• Use the Battery saver feature.
