**The following instructions are for Gabb Phones that have received an update (available Nov 2020) that places the MyGabb app (GPS tracking) on the phone. If your Gabb Phone has not received that update please see instructions at the end of this article "Gabb Phone Pre Update File Transfer"**

1. Transfer MP3 files from your computer to the phone directly.

PC Users

-Plug your Gabb Phone into your PC using your ZTE USB Type-C cable 

-You'll want to select "File Transfer" as shown here:

Note: you'll most likely need to unlock the phone's home screen after plugging it in to see the above prompt

-Transfer your MP3 files to the Gabb Phone music folder as shown here:

Note: depending on your operating system/computer your screen may look different than what is shown above

Mac Users

-Apple does not facilitate out of the box native transfer with an android style device. A great option for Mac users is a microSD card (see microSD below). To transfer MP3 files directly to your Gabb Phone from a Mac you will need to use a file transfer software like Android File Transfer https://www.android.com/filetransfer/

-Once you have download that file transfer launch it on your computer:

-plug in your Gabb Phone and transfer your MP3 files to the music folder:

microSD

A great option for getting MP3 files on your Gabb Phone is utilizing a microSD card. You may transfer files to a microSD card and then insert into the card reader. The slot is directly under the camera/flash:

Accessing Uploaded MP3 Files On The Z2

Once you've uploaded MP3 files to you device you can access them from two places:

1. The MP3 player app

2. The file manager (settings > file manager)

HAPPY LISTENING! Go do cool stuff and live beyond that screen.

Gabb Phone Pre Update File Transfer

1. Transfer MP3 files from your computer to the phone directly. This must be done on a PC computer.
   -Plug your Gabb Phone into your PC using your ZTE USB Type-C cable
   -Select the "PTP" option
   -Transfer your MP3 files to the DCIM > Camera Folder as shown here:
   
   Note: depending on your PC's operating system/computer your screen may look different than what is shown above
   
2. For Mac users (this also works for PC) - you may transfer MP3 files from your Mac to a microSD card. You may then insert the microSD card into the back of the phone. To insert the microSD card, remove the backing from the phone and locate microSD slot. The microSD slot is directly under the lens/flash light. 

Headphones

Remember on our Gabb Phone the FM radio must use corded headphones - they serve as the antenna.

Otherwise bluetooth may be used.

For transferring files (pictures etc) the same principle applies as above. Transfer files directly from the device to a computer (PC users) or from a microSD card to your computer (Mac or PC).

Troubleshooting Android File Transfer on Mac:

-Unplug phone and shut down Android File Transfer

-Restart computer and device

-Transfer from desktop instead of directly from Apple Music or other program.
