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

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

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

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 enter a numeric PIN or a
password each time you power on your phone.

32

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
organisations. Consult your system administrator before turning it
on. In many cases the PIN or password you set for encryption is
controlled by the system administrator.
Before turning on encryption, prepare as follows:

 Set a screen lock 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 >

> 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. Enter your PIN or password and touch NEXT.

33

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 enter your
PIN or password.

Subsequently you must enter your PIN or password each time
you power on your phone in order to decrypt it.
