Installing the nano-SIM Cards and
microSDXC Card
Your phone supports two nano-SIM cards, or you can use one
nano-SIM card and one microSDXC card (optional, not included).
A microSDXC card can be installed or removed while the phone
is turned on. You need to unmount the microSDXC card before
removing it. See Using the microSDXC Card as Portable
Storage.
WARNING!
To avoid damage to the phone, do not use any other kind of SIM
cards, or any non-standard nano-SIM card cut from a SIM card.
You can get a standard nano-SIM card from your service
provider.
1. Insert the tip of the tray eject tool into the hole next to the
nano-SIM/microSDXC card tray on the left side of the phone.
15
2. Place the nano-SIM/microSDXC card on the tray with the
gold-colored contacts facing down. Then carefully slide the
tray back into place.
16
NOTE:
When two nano-SIM cards are installed, pay attention to the
following restrictions.
If one nano-SIM card connects to 4G LTE, the other card can
only connect to 3G or 2G networks.
You can use either card for mobile data service. See Manage
the nano-SIM Cards on how to switch.
If one card is connected to a phone call, the other card is
unreachable.
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.
If the battery is low, there will be a pop-up message on the
screen. As you charge your phone, the screen can show you the
exact battery level on the status bar.
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
authorized service provider.
1. Connect the adapter to the charging jack.
17
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:
If the battery is extremely low, the phone may not power on even
while charging. In this case, charge the phone at least for 20
minutes before trying to power on again. Contact the customer
service if you still cannot power on the phone after prolonged
charging.
18
Extending the Battery Life
Active applications, screen brightness levels, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi
usage and GPS functionality can drain your battery. You can

Reduce the screen backlight time.
Lower the screen brightness.

Troubleshooting
If you encounter problems while using the phone, or if it
performs abnormally, you can refer to the chart below. If your
particular problem cannot be resolved using the information in
the chart, contact the dealer where you purchased the phone.
Problem
Possible causes
Possible solution
Poor reception
The network signal is too
weak at your current location,
for example, in a basement
or near a tall building,
because wireless
transmissions cannot
effectively reach it.
Move to a location where
the network signal can be
properly received.
The network is busy at the
current time (for example,
during peak times, there
may be too much network
traffic to handle additional
calls).
Avoid using the phone at
such times, or try again after
waiting a short time.
You are too far away from a
base station for your service
provider.
You can request a service
area map from your service
provider.
Echo or noise
The network link quality is
poor on the part of your
service provider.
End the call and dial again.
You may be switched to a
better-quality network link or
phone line.
157
Problem
Possible causes
Possible solution
The local telephone line
quality is poor.
End the call and dial again.
You may be switched to a
better-quality network link or
phone line.
Unable to
select certain
features
Your service provider does
not support these features,
or you have not applied for
services that provide these
features.
Contact your service
provider.
Cannot charge
the battery
The battery or battery
charger is damaged.
Contact the dealer.
The phones temperature is
below 0 °C or higher than
45 °C.
Adjust the battery charging
environment to avoid
extremes of temperature.
The contact between the
battery and charger is poor.
Check all connectors to
ensure that all connections
have been properly made.
Shortened
standby time
The standby time is related
to your service provider
system configuration. The
same phone used with
different service providers’
systems will not provide
exactly the same length of
standby time.
If you are located in an area
where signaling is weak,
temporarily power off the
phone.
The battery is depleted. In
high temperature
environments, battery life
will be shortened.
Contact the dealer to
change a new battery.
158
Problem
Possible causes
Possible solution
If you are not able to
connect to the network, the
phone will continue to send
out signals as it attempts to
locate a base station. Doing
so consumes battery power
and will consequently
shorten standby time.
Change your location to one
where the network is
accessible, or temporarily
turn off your phone.
Cannot turn
your phone on
Battery power has been
depleted.
Recharge the phone’s
battery.

damage your hearing. Turn down the volume before using
headphones, Bluetooth headsets or other audio devices.

167
Radio Frequency Interference
General Statement on Interference
Care must be taken when using your phone in close proximity to
personal medical devices, such as pacemakers and hearing aids.
Please consult your doctor and the device manufacturers to
determine if the operation of your phone may interfere with the
operation of your medical devices.
Pacemakers
Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum
separation of 15 cm be maintained between a mobile phone and
a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker.
To achieve this, use the phone on the opposite ear to your
pacemaker and do not carry it in a breast pocket.
Hearing Aids
People with hearing aids or other cochlear implants may
experience interfering noises when using wireless devices or
when one is nearby.
The level of interference depends on the type of the hearing
device and the distance from the interference source. Increasing
the separation between them may reduce the interference. You
may also consult your hearing aid manufacturer to discuss
alternatives.
168
Medical Equipment
Switch off your wireless device when you are requested to do
so in hospitals, clinics or health care facilities. These requests
are designed to prevent possible interference with sensitive
medical equipment.
Aircraft
Switch off your wireless device whenever you are instructed to do
so by airport or airline staff.
Consult the airline staff about the use of wireless devices on
board the aircraft and enable airplane mode of your phone when
boarding an aircraft.
Interference in Vehicles
Please note that because of possible interference to
electronic equipment, some vehicle manufacturers forbid the
use of mobile phones in their vehicles unless a hands-free kit
with an external antenna is included in the installation.
Explosive Environments
Gas Stations and Explosive Atmosphere
In locations with potentially explosive atmosphere, obey all
posted signs to turn off wireless devices such as your phone or
other radio equipment.
169
Areas with potentially explosive atmosphere include fueling areas,
below decks on boats, fuel or chemical transfer or storage
facilities, and areas where the air contains chemicals or particles,
such as grain, dust, or metal powders.
Blasting Caps and Areas
Power off your mobile phone or wireless device when in a
blasting area or in areas where signs are posted to power off
“two-way radios or “electronic devices” to avoid interfering with
blasting operations.
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR)
Your mobile device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is
designed not to exceed the limits for exposure to radio waves
recommended by international guidelines. These guidelines were
developed by the independent scientific organization ICNIRP and
include safety margins designed to assure the protection of all
persons, regardless of age and health.
The guidelines use a unit of measurement known as Specific
Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit for mobile devices is 2
W/kg and the highest SAR value for this device when tested at
the head was 0.467 W/kg* and when tested at the body was
0.530 W/kg*.
As SAR is measured utilizing the device’s highest transmitting
power, the actual SAR of this device while operating is typically
below that indicated above. This is due to automatic changes to
the power level of the device to ensure it only uses the minimum
power required to communicate with the network.
170
