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 authorized service provider.
1. Connect the adapter to the charging jack. Ensure that the
