Getting Started

Installing the Battery and a microSDHC Card

Power off your phone before installing or replacing the battery. You have the option to install a microSDHC card of up to 32 GB to expand your phone’s storage capacity. The microSDHC card can be installed and removed while the phone is turned on. Unmount the microSDHC card before removing it.

1. Place your finger in the slot at the bottom of the back cover to lift and remove the cover.

2. Insert the battery by aligning the contacts on the battery with the gold contacts in the battery compartment. Gently push down on the battery until it clicks into place.

WARNING! Do not handle a damaged or leaking

Li-Ion battery as you can be burned.

3. Hold your microSDHC card with the metal contacts facing down and slide it into the microSDHC card slot.

NOTE: Some applications may require a microSDHC card to work normally or may store certain data on it.

Getting Started

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 port. Ensure that the adapter is inserted with the correct orientation. Do not force the connector into the charging port.

2. Connect the charger to a standard AC wall outlet. If the phone is on, you’ll see a charging icon, such as or , appear in 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

20 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.

Getting Started

• Turn auto-sync, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth off when not in use.

• 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.

Powering Your Phone On/Off

• Press and hold the Power/Lock Key to turn on your phone.

• To turn it off, press and hold the Power/Lock Key to open the options menu. Tap

Power off > OK.

Setting Up Your Phone for the First Time

2. Follow the prompts to set up your Wi-Fi connection, Google account, Google location services, and other options.

Locking/Unlocking the Screen and Keys

To lock the screen and keys:

To quickly turn the screen off and lock the keys, press the Power/Lock Key.

NOTE: To save battery power, the phone automatically turns off the screen after a certain period of time when you leave it idle. You will still be able to receive messages and calls while the phone screen is off.

1. Press the Power/Lock Key to turn the screen on.

2. Press and hold a blank area of the screen. You can also press and hold at the bottom right to open the Camera app. Or, tap a notification twice consecutively to open the related app.

NOTE: If you have set an unlock pattern, PIN, or password for your phone (see

Personalizing – Protecting Your Phone With Screen Locks), you’ll need to draw the pattern or enter the PIN/password to unlock your screen.

Using the Touch Screen

Your phone’s touch screen lets you control actions through a variety of touch gestures.

• Tap – When you want to type using the on-screen keyboard, select on-screen items

(such as application and settings icons), or press on-screen buttons, simply tap them with your finger.

• Tap and Hold – To open the available options for an item (for example, a message or link in a web page), tap and hold the item.

• Swipe or Slide – To swipe or slide means to quickly drag your finger vertically or horizontally across the screen.

• Drag – To drag, press and hold your finger with some pressure before you start to move your finger. While dragging, do not release your finger until you have reached the target position.

• Pinch – In some apps (such as Maps, Browser, and Gallery), you can zoom in and out by placing two fingers on the screen at once and pinching them together (to zoom out) or spreading them apart (to zoom in).

• Rotate the screen – For most screens, you can automatically change the screen orientation from portrait to landscape by turning the phone sideways.

IMPORTANT: If you forget the pattern you set, you need to upgrade the phone software

(see Upgrading the Phone Software).

Protecting Your Phone With Encryption

You can encrypt all the data on your phone: Google accounts, application data, music and other media, downloaded information, and more. If you do, you must enter a numeric PIN or password each time you power on your phone.

WARNING! Encryption is irreversible. The only way to revert to an unencrypted phone is to perform a factory data reset, which erases all your data.

17

Personalizing

Encryption provides additional protection in case your phone is stolen, and may be required or recommended in some organizations. Consult your system administrator before turning it on. In many cases the PIN or password you set for encryption is controlled by the system administrator.

Before turning on encryption, prepare as follows:

• Set a lock screen PIN or password.

• Charge the battery.

• Keep the phone connected to the charger.

• Schedule an hour or more for the encryption process. You must not interrupt it or you will lose some or all of your data.

When you’re ready to turn on encryption:

1. Press the Home Key > > Settings > Security > Encrypt phone.

2. Read the information about encryption carefully.

The ENCRYPT PHONE button is dimmed if your battery is not charged or your phone is not plugged in. If you change your mind about encrypting your phone, press the

Back Key.

WARNING! If you interrupt the encryption process, you will lose data.

3. Tap ENCRYPT PHONE.

4. Enter your lock screen PIN or password and tap NEXT.

5. Tap ENCRYPT PHONE again.

The encryption process starts and displays its progress. Encryption can take an hour or more, during which time your phone may restart several times.

When encryption is complete, you’ll be prompted to enter your PIN or password.

Subsequently, you must enter your PIN or password each time you power on your phone to decrypt it.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter problems while using the phone, or if it performs abnormally, you can refer to the chart below. If your particular problem cannot be resolved using the information in the chart, contact the dealer where you purchased the phone.

Problem Possible Solution

Poor reception

Possible Causes

The network signal is too weak at your current location, for example, in a basement or near a tall building, because wireless transmissions can not effectively reach it.

The network is busy at the current time (for example, during peak times, there may be too much network traffic to handle additional calls).

You are too far away from a base station for your service provider.

Move to a location where the network signal can be properly received.

Avoid using the phone at such times, or try again after waiting a short time.

Echo or noise

Poor network link quality on the part of your service provider.

Poor local telephone line quality.

You can request a service area map from your service provider.

End the call and dial again. You may be switched to a betterquality network link or phone line.

End the call and dial again. You may be switched to a betterquality network link or phone line.

Radio Frequency (RF) Energy

This model phone meets the government’s requirements for exposure to radio waves.

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

U.S. Government:

The exposure standard for wireless mobile phones employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6 W/kg.* Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions accepted by the FCC with the phone transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands.

Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of the phone 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 highest SAR values for this model phone as reported to the FCC when tested for use at the ear and on the body are:

Head: 0.69 W/kg, Body: 1.29 W/kg

(Body-worn measurements differ among phone models, depending upon available enhancements and FCC requirements.)

While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various phones and at various positions, they all meet the government requirement.

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 http://www.fcc.gov/oet/ea/fccid/ after searching on FCC ID:

SRQ-Z818L.

* In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile phones used by the public is 1.6 watts/kg

(W/kg) averaged over one gram of tissue. The standard incorporates a substantial margin of safety to give additional protection for the public and to account for any variations in measurements.

107

For Your Safety

For body-worn operation, this phone has been tested and meets the FCC RF exposure guidelines for use with an accessory that contains no metal and positions the handset a minimum of 0.6 inches (15 mm) from the body. Use of other enhancements may not ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines. If you do not use a body-worn accessory and are not holding the phone at the ear, position the handset a minimum of

0.6 inches (15 mm) from your body when the phone is switched on.

FCC Compliance

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.

Caution: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

NOTE: 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.

108

For Your Safety

Hearing Aid Compatibility (HAC) Regulations for

Mobile Phones

In 2003, the FCC adopted rules to make digital wireless telephones compatible with hearing aids and cochlear implants. Although analog wireless phones do not usually cause interference with hearing aids or cochlear implants, digital wireless phones sometimes do because of electromagnetic energy emitted by the phone’s antenna, backlight, or other components. Your phone is compliant with FCC HAC regulations

(ANSI C63.19-2011).

While some wireless phones are used near some hearing devices (hearing aids and cochlear implants), users may detect a buzzing, humming, or whining noise. Some hearing devices are more immune than others to this interference noise, and phones also vary in the amount of interference they generate. The wireless telephone industry has developed ratings for some of their mobile phones to assist hearing device users in finding phones that may be compatible with their hearing devices. Not all phones have been rated. Phones that have been rated have a label on the box. These ratings are not guaranteed. Results will vary, depending on the level of immunity of your hearing device and the degree of your hearing loss. If your hearing device happens to be vulnerable to interference, you may not be able to use a rated phone successfully. Trying out the phone with your hearing device is the best way to evaluate it for your personal needs.

This phone has been tested and rated for use with hearing aids for some of the wireless technologies that it uses. However, there may be some newer wireless technologies used in this phone that have not been tested yet for use with hearing aids. It is important to try the different features of this phone thoroughly and in different locations, using your hearing aid or cochlear implant, to determine if you hear any interfering noise. Consult your service provider or the manufacturer of this phone for information on hearing aid compatibility. If you have questions about return or exchange policies, consult your service provider or phone retailer.

M-Ratings: Phones rated M3 or M4 meet FCC requirements and are likely to generate less interference with hearing devices than phones that are not labeled. M4 is the better/ higher of the two ratings.

109

For Your Safety

T-Ratings: Phones rated T3 or T4 meet FCC requirements and are likely to be more usable with a hearing device’s telecoil (“T Switch” or “Telephone Switch”) than unrated phones.

T4 is the better/higher of the two ratings. (Note that not all hearing devices contain telecoils.)

Your Z818L has been tested for hearing aid device compatibility and has an

M3/T3 rating.

Hearing devices may also be measured for immunity to this type of interference. Your hearing device manufacturer or hearing health professional may help you find results for your hearing device.

For additional information about the FCC’s actions with regard to hearing aid compatible wireless devices and other steps the FCC has taken to ensure that individuals with disabilities have access to telecommunications services, please go to www.fcc.gov/cgb/dro.

Care must be taken when using the phone in close proximity to personal medical devices, such as pacemakers and hearing aids.

Pacemakers

Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum separation of 15 cm be maintained between a mobile phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker. To achieve this, use the phone on the opposite ear to your pacemaker and do not carry it in a breast pocket.

Hearing Aids

People with hearing aids or other cochlear implants may experience interfering noises when using wireless devices or when one is nearby. The level of interference will depend on the type of hearing device and the distance from the interference source. Increasing the separation between them may reduce the interference. You may also consult your hearing aid manufacturer to discuss alternatives.

Medical Devices

Please consult your doctor and the device manufacturer to determine if operation of your phone may interfere with the operation of your medical device.

Hospitals

Turn off your wireless device when requested to do so in hospitals, clinics or health care facilities. These requests are designed to prevent possible interference with sensitive medical equipment.

For Your Safety

Aircraft

Turn off your wireless device whenever you are instructed to do so by airport or airline staff. Consult the airline staff about the use of wireless devices onboard the aircraft. If your device offers a ‘flight mode’, this must be enabled prior to boarding an aircraft.

Interference in Cars

Please note that because of possible interference with electronic equipment, some vehicle manufacturers forbid the use of mobile phones in their vehicles unless a handsfree kit with an external antenna is included in the installation.

Explosive Environments

Gas Stations and Explosive Atmospheres

In locations with potentially explosive atmospheres, obey all posted signs to turn off wireless devices such as your phone or other radio equipment. Areas with potentially explosive atmospheres include fueling areas, below decks on boats, fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities, areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust, or metal powders.

Blasting Caps and Areas

Power off your mobile phone or wireless device when in a blasting area or in areas posted power off “two-way radios” or “electronic devices” to avoid interfering with blasting operations.
