it randomly.
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

17
as possible.
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
