Installing the nano-SIM / microSDHC Card

Your phone has two nano-SIM card slots. You can install one nano-SIM card and one microSDHC card or both nano-SIM cards into the slots. Power off your phone before installing or removing the nano-SIM or microSDHC card.

WARNING!

To avoid damage to the phone, do not use any other kind of SIM cards, or any non-standard nano-SIM card cut from a SIM card. You can get a standard nano-SIM card from your service provider.

NOTE:

Your phone is designed for simultaneous use of two nano-SIM cards in standby mode. However, the nano-SIM cards cannot be used simultaneously for calls or the Internet. If one nano-SIM card is used in a voice call, the other nano-SIM card is not available. This situation is caused by the function of the phone and is independent of the network. Such design can significantly reduce the power consumption of the phone in standby mode.

1. Insert the tip of the tray eject tool into the hole on the nano-SIM / microSDHC card tray.

2. Pull out the nano-SIM card tray or microSDHC card tray and place the nano-SIM card or microSDHC card on the tray, as shown. Then carefully install the tray back.

NOTE:

The two nano-SIM card slots support 4G/3G/2G nano-SIM cards. When one nano-SIM card is set to connect with 4G/3G networks, the other installed nano-SIM card can only connect with 2G networks.

Charging the Battery

Your phone’s battery should have enough power for the phone to turn on, find a signal, and make a few calls. You should fully charge the battery as soon as possible.

If the battery is low, there will be a pop-up message on the screen. As you charge your phone, the screen will show you the exact battery level on the status bar.

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 change the built-in rechargeable battery in your phone by

yourself. The battery can only be changed by ZTE or ZTE authorized service provider.

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

2. Connect the charger to a standard AC power outlet. If the phone is on, you’ll see a charging icon, such as

appear on 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 30 minutes. Contact the customer service if you still cannot power on

or ,

the phone after prolonged charging.

 The battery is not removable, do not remove the rear cover

please.

 Press and hold the power key for about 10 seconds to

force the cellular phone restart.

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 Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and auto-sync 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, and each query drains your battery.

Powering On/Off

 Press and hold the Power key to turn on your phone.  To power off, press and hold the Power key to open the

options menu and touch Power off > OK.

NOTE:

If the phone freezes or takes too long to respond, you can press

and hold the Power key for about 10 seconds to power off the phone.

Setting Up for the First Time

When you first power on your phone after you purchase it or reset it to factory settings (see Backup & Reset on page 150), you need to do some settings before using it.

Flick the language field to select the language. Then follow the prompts to set up Wi-Fi, Google account, Google location and other options.

Locking/Unlocking the Screen and Keys

NOTE:

To save battery power, the phone automatically turns off the screen after some time of inactivity. You will still be able to receive messages and calls while the phone screen is off.

2. Swipe up or down on the screen.

NOTE:

If you have set an unlock pattern, a PIN or a password for your phone (see Protecting Your Phone With Screen Locks on page

31), you’ll need to draw the pattern or enter the PIN/password to unlock your screen.

Upgrading the Phone Software on page 153.

Protecting Your Phone With Encryption

You can encrypt all the data on your phone: your accounts, application data, music and other media, downloaded information, and so on. If you do, you must draw an unlock pattern, or enter a numeric PIN or a 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 pattern, PIN or password you set for encryption is controlled by the system administrator.

Before turning on encryption, prepare as follows:

● Set a lock screen pattern, 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. Touch the Home key, slide screen to touch 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's not plugged in. If you change your mind about encrypting your phone, touch

the Back key.

WARNING!

If you interrupt the encryption process, you will lose data.

3. Touch ENCRYPT PHONE.

4. Draw your lock screen pattern or enter your PIN or password, and touch NEXT.

5. Touch ENCRYPT PHONE again.

The encryption process starts. Encryption can take an hour or more, during which time your phone may restart several times.

When encryption is completed, you're prompted to draw the unlock pattern, or enter the PIN or password.

Subsequently, you must draw the unlock pattern, enter the PIN or password each time you power on your phone in order to decrypt it.

Protecting Your Phone With Screen Pinning

You can use the screen pinning feature to keep an app in view, so others cannot switch to other apps or access your personal information.

Turn On Screen Pinning

1. Touch the Home key, slide screen to touch Settings > Security > Screen pinning.

2. Touch the On/Off switch.

3. If you want to ask for the unlock pattern, PIN or password before unpinning the screen, switch on Ask for unlock pattern / PIN / password before unpinning when the screen lock has been set.

Pin a Screen

1. Ensure that screen pinning is turned on.

2. Open the app you want to keep in view.
