Health and safety information

Precautions when using batteries

• Never use a charger or battery that is damaged in any way.
• Use the battery only for its intended purpose.
• If you use the phone near a network base station, the phone uses less power.
Talk and standby times are greatly affected by the signal strength on the
cellular network and the parameters set by the network operator.
• Battery charging time depends on the remaining battery charge, the type of
battery, and the charger used. The battery can be charged hundreds of times,
but it will gradually wear out. When the operation time is noticeably shorter than
normal, it is time to buy a new battery.
• If left unused, a fully charged battery will discharge itself over time.
• Use only ZTE-approved batteries, and recharge your battery only with ZTE-
approved chargers. Disconnect the charger from the power source when it is
not in use.
• Extreme temperatures will affect the charging capacity of your battery: it may
require cooling or warming first.
• Do not leave the battery in hot or cold places because the capacity and lifetime
of the battery will be reduced. Try to keep the battery at room temperature. A
phone with a hot or cold battery may not work temporarily, even when the
battery is fully charged. Li-ion batteries are particularly affected by temperatures

below 0 C (32
• Do not short circuit the battery. Accidental short circuiting can occur when a
metallic object like a coin, clip or pen causes a direct connection between the +
and - terminals of the battery (metal strips on the battery). For example, do not
carry a spare battery in a pocket or bag where the battery may contact metal
