Using the microSDXC Card as Portable or Phone Storage).

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.
Do not change the built-in rechargeable battery in your phone by
yourself. The battery can only be changed by ZTE or a ZTE
authorized service provider.
WARNINGS!
Use only ZTE-approved chargers and USB Type-C™ cables.
The use of unapproved accessories could damage your
phone or cause the battery to explode.
11
Do not remove the back cover. The battery is not removable.
Removal may cause fire or explosion.
NOTE: Use the USB Type-C charger that comes in-box with your
phone to charge the battery. It’s specially built to support
Qualcomm® Quick Charge™ 2.0.
1. Connect the adapter to the charging port.
2. Connect the charger to a standard AC wall outlet. If the phone
is on, you’ll see a charging icon, such as or , appear in
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
12
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 customer service if you still cannot power on the phone
after prolonged charging.
This device contains a non-removable battery.
Attempting to remove will void your warranty and could
cause serious injury. Do not damage, alter, or try to
remove the battery.
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 Battery saver feature in Settings.
Reduce the screen backlight time.
Lower the screen brightness.
Turn auto-sync, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth 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.
13
Powering Your Phone On/Off
Press and hold the Power/Lock Key to turn on your phone.
To turn it off, press and hold the Power/Lock Key to open the
options menu. Tap Power off > OK.

Locking/Unlocking the Screen and
Keys
Your phone allows you to quickly lock the screen and keys (put
14
the phone into Sleep mode) when not in use and also to turn the
screen back on and unlock it when you need it.
Locking the Screen and Keys
To quickly turn the screen off and lock the keys, press the
Power/Lock Key.

the screen after a certain period of time when you leave it idle.
You will still be able to receive messages and calls while the
phone screen is off.

to press your finger against the fingerprint sensor, draw the
pattern, or enter the PIN/password to unlock your screen.
15
Using the Touch Screen
Your phone’s touch screen lets you control actions through a
variety of touch gestures.

select on-screen items (such as application and settings

Press and Hold – To open the available options for an item

the screen at once and pinching them together (to zoom out)
or spreading them apart (to zoom in).
Rotate the Screen – For most screens, you can
automatically change the screen orientation from portrait to
landscape by turning the phone sideways.
