Charging the Battery
When you get your new phone, you’ll need to charge the battery. If the battery is low, there will be a pop-up message on the
screen. As you charge your phone, the screen will tell you the exact battery level each time you wake up your phone.
WARNING! Use only ZTE approved chargers and cables. The use of unapproved accessories could damage your phone or cause the battery to explode.
CAUTION: Do not change the built-in rechargeable battery in your phone by yourself. The battery can only be changed by ZTE or ZTE authorised service provider.
1. Connect the adapter to the charging jack. Ensure that the adapter is inserted with the correct orientation. Do not force the connector into the charging jack.
2. Connect the charger to a standard AC wall outlet. If the phone
15
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: 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 10 minutes. Contact customer service if you still cannot power on the phone after prolonged charging.
Extending the Battery Life
Active applications, screen brightness levels, Wi-Fi usage and GPS functionality and other certain features can all drain your battery. You can follow the helpful tips below to conserve your battery power:
Reduce the screen backlight time. Lower the screen brightness. Turn auto-sync, portable hotspot, 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.
16
Restarting the Phone
If the screen freezes or takes too long to respond, try pressing and holding the Power Key for about 8 seconds to restart the phone.
Setting Up for the First Time
When you first power on your phone after you purchase it or reset it to factory settings (see Backup and Reset), you need to do some settings before using it.

Key. NOTE: To save battery power, the phone automatically turns off
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 unlock the screen and keys:
1. Press the Power Key to turn the screen on.
2. Touch and hold any blank area of the screen to unlock it.

numeric PIN or a password you must enter to unlock your
screen. IMPORTANT: Screen lock options are listed in the approximate order of the strength of their security, starting with None and Long press, which provide no security. A pattern provides minimal security, although it can be more convenient than the stronger options.
Protecting Your Phone With Encryption
You can encrypt all the data on your phone: Google Accounts, application data, music and other media, downloaded information, and so on. If you do, you must enter a numeric PIN or 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 PIN or password you set for encryption is controlled by the system administrator.
Before turning on encryption, prepare as follows:
1. Set a lock screen PIN or password.
2. Charge the battery.
25
3. Keep the phone connected to the charger.
4. 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:
5. Touch the Home Key > Menu Key > System settings > Security > Encrypt phone.
6. Read the information about encryption carefully. The Encrypt phone button is dimmed if your battery's 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.
7. Touch Encrypt phone.
8. Enter your lock screen PIN or password and touch Next.
9. Touch Encrypt phone again.
The encryption process starts and displays its progress. 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, to decrypt it.
