Troubleshooting

In case of problems, please refer to this guide. If the problems persist, contact your dealer or visit our website. You can find frequently asked questions and a community forum on our official English website at http://en.meizu.com.

Entering PIN

Enter your SIM card PIN code. If you do not know the code, contact your carrier for information.

Entering PUK

After entering the PIN code incorrectly three times, your SIM card will be locked. To unlock, you must enter the PUK code.

Unable to send messages

Please check that the network signal is normal.

No SIM card inserted

Confirm SIM card is properly inserted. Check that the SIM card is working properly as it may be defective or faulty. If so, contact your carrier for a replacement.

Out of service or network failure

Check the signal strength. If there is no network signal, you may be in a network blind spot. Move to another spot to regain signal.

Poor sound quality, echo or noise during conversation

Hang up and dial again.

Short battery life

Where the signal is weak, the phone will constantly be looking for signal, which drains the battery. When you do not need the phone function, you can turn the phone radio off. If the battery has been used for too long, battery life will deteriorate, and battery should be replaced.

Phone does not boot

Check the battery status.

Care tips

In order to improve mobile performance, reduce the radio emission, reduce battery power consumption and ensure safe operation, please observe the following instructions:

How to correctly use the phone:

1 Keep the phone and parts and accessories out of children's reach.

2 Keep the phone dry and in a ventilated environment when charging. Do not use water, chemicals or cleaning solvents to clean the phone. Also, avoid rain, moisture and liquids that contain minerals that corrode electronic circuit boards.

3 Do not attempt unauthorized disassembly of the phone. If you have questions, please contact Meizu or a local Meizu store.

4 Do not store the device in extreme temperatures as it can shorten the life of electronic devices and damage the battery. Recommended use environment is between -10 and 5^ .

5 Do not drop, knock or strongly shake the mobile phone, as it may result in damage to the internal circuit board.

6 If dropped in water water, make sure to turn off the mobile and send it to the local Meizu Certified Store immediately for repair. Do not attempt to dry it by using any heating equipment such as dryers, microwave ovens, etc.

7 Do not attempt to repair any product at home. If the phone is not working, consult Meizu for after-sales service.

8 Prolonged phone calls, web surfing sessions and gaming may result in the phone warming up, especially when charging. This is normal phenomenon among modern smartphones.

9 The phone has a built-in antenna. Do not damage or perform unauthorized modifications to the antenna, which may result in reduced equipment efficiency and increased SAR values exceeding the recommended range.

10 Do not place heavy objects on, or press hard on the phone, to avoid damage to the phone or its touch screen display.

Mobile security and backup:

The device supports internet connectivity. Like computers, it may be exposed to viruses, malicious information or applications, and other harmful content. Please only open messages, accept connectivity requests, download content and accept installation requests from reliable sources. Please back up important information regularly to prevent the loss of data.

Battery

  1. Do not attempt to open the case for the removal or repair mobile phone battery. This product contains a lithium-ion polymer battery. Incorrect installation of battery may lead to fire danger or combustion. Do not disassemble the battery, its external short circuit contacts, expose the battery to extreme temperature (outside of the recommended - 10^ C to 55^ C range), and do not dispose of batteries in a fire as general waste.
  2. Please keep the battery and device dry and away from water or other liquids, to avoid short circuiting the device.

  3. The battery standard: GB/T 18287-2000, limited charge voltage: 4.3V

Please follow the relevant laws and regulations, and do not use the phone in the following environments:

  1. Gas stations, chemical storage warehouses, environments containing flammable gas or other chemicals.
  2. Hospital operating rooms, emergency rooms, intensive care units and other places. In order to avoid interference with medical devices work, do not use phone.
  3. When in an aircraft, follow the aviation safety requirements and turn off your phone when asked to.
  4. To protect you and other people's safety while driving, do not use the phone.
  5. Do not use phone outdoors during a lightning storm to avoid accidents.
  6. When charging the phone, do not use the phone close to your face when calling.
  7. Follow any other laws governing mobile phone usage.

Accessory caution

  1. Place all accessories (such as SIM or USIM card, power adapter, etc.) out of children's reach to avoid choking hazards.
  2. As the mobile phone accessories are not water-resistant, keep all parts dry.
  3. When the detaching the power cord of any accessory, pull the plug and not the cord.

Traffic Safety

According to research, texting or talking on the phone while driving significantly increases the fatality risk. Please follow below instructions:

  1. If you want to use the phone in the car, use a hands-free device.
  2. Make sure your mobile phone and hands-free device do not hinder any vehicle airbags or other safety equipment.

Radio wave radiation safety precautions

  1. Avoid using the device in the vicinity of metal structures (such as steel construction sites).
  2. Avoid using the device in the vicinity of strong electromagnetic sources, such as microwave ovens, speakers, TV and radios.
  3. Use only original manufacturer approved accessories, or those that do not contain any metal parts.
  4. Using non-original manufacturer approved accessories may violate your local RF exposure guidelines.

Radio wave (RF) signals

The mobile phone contains a radio transceiver, where the electromagnetic radiation energy does not exceed the upper limit of Chinese regulations. These limits are part of a comprehensive set of guidelines set based on human electromagnetic energy radiation tolerance. These guidelines are set after thorough independent research and are regularly updated and reassessed. These standards include ensure that persons of any age or health status can use the devices safely.

The exposure standard for mobile phones is defined by the electromagnetic energy absorption ratio (Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR) unit of measurement. Based on this model, the maximum allowed SAR value is 2.0W / Kg .

The SAR value is tested in accordance with standard test procedures, such as the use of normal phone positioning, and recording the maximum output power through testing a variety of frequencies. Tthe SAR value is based on the highest measured rate, but general real life mobile use will result in SAR levels well below this maximum. Mobile phones are designed to use power flexibly, and to adjust the the power output to achieve the base station demand level. In general, the closer to the base station the mobile is, the less power it needs.

SAR information

This mobile device meets international guidelines for radio wave exposure. The maximum SAR limit is at a value of 2.0W / Kg , while the measured maximum SAR of this device is 0.823W / Kg , in line with the P.R.C. national standard GB21288-2007, "Limits for human local exposure to electromagnetic fields emitted by mobile phones".

  • SAR values may vary by country, region and test environment. The use of accessories may result in different absorption rates.
