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.
WARNING!
Use only ZTE-approved chargers and cables. The use of unapproved accessories could damage your phone or cause the battery to explode.
1. Connect the adapter to 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
19
or ,
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 20 minutes. Contact the customer service if you still cannot power on the phone after prolonged charging.
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:
Use the Power manager feature in Settings to activate Power
saver mode.
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.
