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.
2. Pull out the card tray and place a nano-SIM card in slot 1
and a microSDXC card (optional) or a nano-SIM card in
slot 2, as shown. Carefully slide the tray back into place.

NOTE:
When two nano-SIM cards are installed, both cards can
connect to the 4G, 3G, or 2G network, and either card can be
used for mobile data.
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 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. Ensure that
the adapter is inserted in the correct direction.
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

6
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 the

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.

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 2
W/kg and the highest SAR value for this device when tested
at the head was xxx W/kg*, and when tested at the body was
xxx W/kg* with 5 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 EN 50360, EN
50566, EN 62479, EN 62311, EN 62209-1 and EN 62209-2.
** Please see body worn operation in the user manual.

FCC RF Exposure Information (SAR)
This phone is designed and manufactured not to exceed the
emission limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy
set by the Federal Communications Commission of the
United States.
During SAR testing, this device was set to transmit at its
highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands,
and placed in positions that simulate RF exposure in usage
against the head with no separation, and near the body with
the separation of 15 mm. Although the SAR is determined at
the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of the
device while operating can be well below the maximum value.
This is because the phone is designed to operate at multiple
power levels so as to use only the power required to reach the
network. In general, the closer you are to a wireless base
station antenna, the lower the power output.
The exposure standard for wireless devices employing a unit
of measurement is known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or
SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6 W/kg.
This device is complied with SAR for general
population/uncontrolled exposure limits in ANSI/IEEE
C95.1-1992 and had been tested in accordance with the
measurement methods and procedures specified in
IEEE1528.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this
model phone with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in
compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR
information on this model phone is on file with the FCC and
can be found under the Display Grant section of
www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid after searching on
FCC ID: SRQ-ZTEA7S. The FCC ID also can be found on the
device when you open For this device, the highest reported
SAR value for usage against the head is 0.64 W/kg, and for
usage near the body is 1.18 W/kg.
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of

10
various phones and at various positions, they all meet the
government requirements.
SAR compliance for body-worn operation is based on a
separation distance of 15 mm between the unit and the
human body. Carry this device at least 15 mm away from your
body to ensure RF exposure level compliant or lower to the
reported level. To support body-worn operation, choose the
belt clips or holsters, which do not contain metallic
components, to maintain a separation of 15 mm between this
device and your body.
RF exposure compliance with any body-worn accessory,
which contains metal, was not tested and certified, and using
such body-worn accessory should be avoided.
FCC Regulations
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation
is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may
not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must
accept any interference received, including interference that
may cause undesired operation.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with
the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of
the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference in a
residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and
can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and
used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this equipment does cause harmful
interference to radio or television reception, which can be
determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more
of the following measures:
 Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

11
 Increase the separation between the equipment and
receiver.
 Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit
different from that to which the receiver is connected.
 Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician
for help.
CAUTION:
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the
manufacturer could void the user’s authority to operate the
equipment.
The antenna(s) used for this transmitter must not be
co-located or operating in conjunction with any other
antenna or transmitter.
