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 USB cables. The use of

15

unapproved accessories could damage your phone or cause the
battery to explode.

1. Connect the adaptor to the charging jack. Ensure that the
adaptor is inserted with the correct orientation. Do not force
the connector into 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 or ,
appear on the status bar.

3. Disconnect the charger when the battery is fully charged.

NOTE:

16

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.

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 draw an unlock pattern, enter a
numeric PIN or a password each time you power on your phone.

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
organizations. Consult your system administrator before turning it
on. In many cases the pattern, PIN or password you set for
encryption is controlled by the system administrator.

Before turning on encryption, prepare as follows:

●

Set a screen lock pattern, 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

32

not charged or your phone's not plugged in.

If you change your mind about encrypting your phone, touch

the Back

If you interrupt the encryption process, you will lose data.

3. Touch ENCRYPT PHONE.

4. Draw your screen lock pattern or enter your PIN or password.

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 draw the
unlock pattern, or enter your PIN or password.

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