Getting Started
Thanks for choosing the ZTE Warp. Please read this guide carefully and keep it for future reference. The pictures and icons presented in this guide are meant for illustrative purposes only and may not accurately
represent the actual pictures and icons found on the phone. Your phone contains the most up to date information. The main way to control your phone is by using your finger to manipulate icons, buttons, menu items, the onscreen
keypad, and other items on the touchscreen. You can ‘tap’ an item to select and open it, ‘slide’ left or right on the Home screen, ‘hold’ files until a list of shortcuts pops up, ‘drag’ items into the bin, or ‘pinch’ images and web pages to zoom in or zoom out.
WARNING: Please refer to the "For Your Safety" section on page 104 to learn about information that will help you safely use your phone. Failure to read and follow the important "For Your Safety" information in this phone guide may result in serious bodily injury, death, or property damage.

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 Bluetooth off when not in use.
Turn Wi-Fi 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.
When taking pictures, do not use a flash unless you have to.
Switching Your Phone On/Off
1. Make sure the battery is charged.
2. Hold the Power Key to switch on your phone. If your phone is activated, it will search for Boost service and enter the standby mode.
3. To switch it off, hold the Power Key to get the phone options. Select Power off, and then tap OK.
