2. Hold your microSDHC card with the metal contacts facing down and slide it in.

15
NOTE:
Some applications may require a microSDHC card to work normally or may store
certain data on it. Therefore, it is recommended that you keep a microSDHC card
installed and not remove or replace it randomly.
3. Close the microSDHC card plug.
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 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.
1. Connect the adapter to the charging jack. Ensure that the adapter is inserted with
the correct orientation. Do not force the connector into the charging jack.

16
2. Connect the charger to a standard AC wall outlet or plug the phone into your
laptop. 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, 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
10 minutes. Contact customer service if you still cannot power on the phone after
prolonged charging.
Extending the Battery Life
Active applications, screen brightness levels, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi usage and GPS
functionality can drain your battery. You can follow the helpful tips below to conserve
your battery power:
• Reduce the screen backlight time.
• Lower the screen brightness.
• Turn auto-sync, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth off when not in use.

17
• Disable the GPS function when not in use. Most applications using this function
will periodically query the GPS satellites for your current location; each query
drains your battery.

Power off and then touch OK.

network before asking you to sign in to a Google account.
