Setting Up Your Phone
The nano-SIM card(s) can be installed or removed while
the phone is turned on.
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 on the
card tray.
CAUTION:
Never replace the included tray eject tool with sharp
objects. Ensure that the tray eject tool is perpendicular to
the hole. Otherwise, the phone may be damaged.

2. Pull out the card tray. You can place a nano-SIM card
on the right card slot, and place a nano-SIM card or a
microSDXC card (optional) on the left card slot, as
shown. Carefully slide the tray back into place.
NOTE:
The two card slots support 5G/4G/3G/2G networks.
Charging the Phone
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 Type-C
cables. The use of unapproved accessories could
damage your phone or cause the battery to explode.
WARNING!
Do not remove the back cover. The battery is not
removable. Removal may cause fire or explosion.
1. Connect the adapter to the charging jack.

6
2. Connect the charger to a standard AC power outlet.
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.
Powering On/Off Your Phone
Make sure the battery is charged before powering on.
Press and hold the Power key to turn on your phone.
To power off, press and hold the Power key to open

Product Safety Information
Don’t make or receive phone calls while driving.
Never text while driving.
Keep your phone at least 5 mm away from your
body while making calls.
Small parts may cause choking.
Your phone can produce a loud sound.
To prevent possible hearing damage, do not
listen at high volume levels for long periods.
Exercise caution when holding your phone near
your ear while the loudspeaker is in use.
Avoid contact with anything magnetic.
Keep away from pacemakers and other
electronic medical devices.
Turn off when asked to in hospitals and medical
facilities.
Turn off when told to on aircraft and at airports.
Turn off when near explosive materials or
liquids.
Don’t use at gas stations.
Your phone may produce a bright or flashing
light.
Don’t dispose of your phone in fire.

8
Only use approved accessories.
For pluggable equipment, the socket-outlet
shall be installed near the equipment and shall
be easily accessible.
Don’t rely on your phone as a primary device
for emergency communications.
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
1.6
W/kg and the highest SAR value for
this device
when tested at the head was
1.169
W/kg*,
and
when tested at the body was
0.589
W/kg*
with
15
mm distance. As mobile devices offer a range of
functions, they can be used in other positions, such as on
the body as
described in the user manual**.
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.
* The tests are carried out in accordance with
IEEE
1528-2013, ANSI C95.1:1992, IEEE C95.1:1991.
** Please see body worn operation
in the user manual.
