cover and lift it up gently.

2. Install the micro-UIM card and the microSDHC card with the
cut corner oriented as shown.

14

Charging the Battery

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

charge the battery as soon as possible.

16

WARNING!

Use only ZTE-approved chargers and cables. The use of

Problem

Possible causes

Possible solution

Poor
reception

The network signal is too
weak at your current
location, for example, in
a basement or near a
tall building, because
wireless transmissions
cannot effectively reach
it.

Move to a location
where the network
signal can be properly
received.

The network is busy at
the current time (for
example, during peak
times, there may be too
much network traffic to
handle additional calls).

Avoid using the phone at
such times, or try again
after waiting a short
time.

You are too far away
from a base station for
your service provider.

You can request a
service area map from
your service provider.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter problems while using the phone, or if it
performs abnormally, you can refer to the chart below. If your
particular problem cannot be resolved using the information in
the chart, contact the dealer where you purchased the phone.

Contact your service
provider.

Cannot
charge the
battery

The battery or battery
charger is damaged.

Contact the dealer.

The phone’s temperature
is below 0 °C or higher
than 45 °C.

Adjust the battery
charging environment to
avoid extremes of
temperature.

The contact between the
battery and charger is
poor.

Check all connectors to
ensure that all

properly made.

91

Problem

Possible causes

Possible solution

Shortened
standby time

The standby time is
related to your service
provider system
configuration. The same
phone used with
different service

providers’ systems will

not provide exactly the
same length of standby
time.

If you are located in an
area where signaling is
weak, temporarily power
off the phone.

The battery is depleted.
In high temperature
environments, battery
life will be shortened.

Contact the dealer to
change a new battery.

If you are not able to
connect to the network,
the phone will continue
to send out signals as it
attempts to locate a
base station. Doing so
consumes battery power
and will consequently
shorten standby time.

Change your location to
one where the network
is accessible, or
temporarily turn off your
phone.

Radio Frequency (RF) Energy

This phone is designed and manufactured not to exceed the
emission limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set
by the Federal Communications Commission of the United
States.

During SAR testing, this device was set to transmit at its highest
certified power level in all tested frequency bands, and placed
in positions that simulate RF exposure in usage against the
head with no separation, and near the body with the separation

96

of 15 mm. Although the SAR is determined at the highest
certified power level, the actual SAR level of the device while
operating can be well below the maximum value. This is
because the phone is designed to operate at multiple power
levels so as to use only the power required to reach the network.
In general, the closer you are to a wireless base station
antenna, the lower the power output.

The exposure standard for wireless devices employing a unit of
measurement is known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR.
The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6 W/kg.

This device is complied with SAR for general population
/uncontrolled exposure limits in ANSI/IEEE C95.1-1992 and
had been tested in accordance with the measurement methods
and procedures specified in IEEE1528.

The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this
model phone with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in
compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR
information on this model phone is on file with the FCC and can
be found under the Display Grant section of
www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid after searching on FCC ID:
SRQ-Z233VL.

For this device, the highest reported SAR value for usage
against the head is 0.85 W/kg, and for usage near the body is

1.03 W/kg.
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of

various phones and at various positions, they all meet the
government requirements.

97

SAR compliance for body-worn operation is based on a
separation distance of 15 mm between the unit and the human
body. Carry this device at least 15 mm away from your body to
ensure RF exposure level compliant or lower to the reported
level. To support body-worn operation, choose the belt clips or
holsters, which do not contain metallic components, to maintain
a separation of 15 mm between this device and your body.

RF exposure compliance with any body-worn accessory, which
contains metal, was not tested and certified, and using such
body-worn accessory should be avoided.

FCC Regulations

This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation
is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may
not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept
any interference received, including interference that may
cause undesired operation.

CAUTION:

Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the
manufacturer could void the user’s authority to operate the
equipment.

The antenna(s) used for this transmitter must not be co-located
or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or
transmitter.

NOTE:

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the

98

limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC
Rules.

These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference in a residential installation. This
equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this
equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or
television reception, which can be determined by turning the
equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct
the interference by one or more of the following measures:

 Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
 Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
 Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different

from that to which the receiver is connected.

 Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for

help.

Hearing Aid Compatibility (HAC)
Regulations for Mobile Phones

In 2003, the FCC adopted rules to make digital wireless
telephones compatible with hearing aids and cochlear implants.
Although analog wireless phones do not usually cause

99

interference with hearing aids or cochlear implants, digital
wireless phones sometimes do because of electromagnetic
energy emitted by the phone's antenna, backlight, or other
components. Your phone is compliant with FCC HAC
regulations (ANSI C63.19- 2011). While some wireless phones
are used near some hearing devices (hearing aids and cochlear
implants), users may detect a buzzing, humming, or whining
noise. Some hearing devices are more immune than others to
this interference noise and phones also vary in the amount of
interference they generate. The wireless telephone industry has
developed a rating system for wireless phones to assist hearing
device users in finding phones that may be compatible with
their hearing devices. Not all phones have been rated. Phones
that are rated have the rating on their box or a label located on
the box. The ratings are not guarantees. Results will vary
depending on the user's hearing device and hearing loss. If
your hearing device happens to be vulnerable to interference,
you may not be able to use a rated phone successfully. Trying
out the phone with your hearing device is the best way to
evaluate it for your personal needs.

This phone has been tested and rated for use with hearing aids
for some of the wireless technologies that it uses. However,
there may be some newer wireless technologies used in this
phone that have not been tested yet for use with hearing aids. It
is important to try the different features of this phone thoroughly
and in different locations, using your hearing aid or cochlear
implant, to determine if you hear any interfering noise. Consult
your service provider or the manufacturer of this phone for
information on hearing aid compatibility. If you have questions
