Getting to Know Your Phone

The phone features a front view with the earpiece, front camera, proximity & light sensor, and touch screen. The side view shows the volume key and power key/fingerprint sensor. The bottom view shows the headset jack and charging/USB port. The back view displays the back cameras.

Your phone supports 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz Wi-Fi.

Setting Up Your Phone

The nano-SIM card 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.

Step 1: Insert the tray eject tool

Insert the tip of the tray eject tool into the hole on the card tray.

NOTE: Please use the tray eject tool included in the box. Otherwise, the card tray may not be ejected.

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.

Step 2: Insert SIM and microSDXC cards

Pull out the card tray and place the nano-SIM card and the microSDXC card (optional) on the tray. Carefully slide the tray back into place.

Step 3: 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.

Connect the adapter to the charging jack.

Connect the charger to a standard AC power outlet.

Step 4: Disconnect charger

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 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 options menu, and tap the power off icon.

NOTE: If the screen freezes or takes too long to respond, try pressing and holding the Power key for over 10 seconds to restart the phone.

FM Radio

Scanning for Channels

Plug in a wired headset and open FM Radio.
Tap Scan, then OK. Your phone scans for all available channels and saves them to the channel list.

Listening to FM Radio

Open FM Radio while the headset is connected.
Tap All channels and select a channel. You can also drag the red needle along the frequency panel or tap [left arrow] or [right arrow] to switch to other channels, or tap [volume up] or [volume down] to adjust the current channel frequency.

NOTES:

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 10 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-ZTE9045. The FCC ID also can be found on the device when you open Settings > About phone > FCC ID.

For this device, the highest reported SAR value for usage against the head is 0.72W/kg, and for usage near the body is 1.19 W/kg. While there may be differences between the SAR levels of 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 10 mm between the unit and the human body. Carry this device at least 10 mm away from your body to ensure RF exposure level is 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 10 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.
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.
