Using your phone safely
On the road
Using a phone while driving is illegal in many countries.
Please follow local laws and drive safely at all times.
Near sensitive electronics
Don’t use your phone near sensitive electronic equipment –
particularly medical devices such as pacemakers – as it could
cause them to malfunction. It can also interfere with the
operation of fire detectors and other automatic-control
equipment.
For more information about how your phone affects
pacemakers or other electronic equipment, please contact
the manufacturer or your local distributor.
Your phone may cause interference when used near TVs,
radios or automated office equipment.
While flying
Your phone can cause interference with aircraft equipment. So
it’s essential you follow airline regulations. And if airline
personnel ask you to switch off your phone, or disable its
wireless functions, please do as they say.
In hospital
Your phone may interfere with the normal operation of medical

页
equipment. Follow all hospital regulations and turn it off when
you’re asked to by posted warnings or medical staff.
At a petrol station
Don’t use your phone at petrol stations. In fact, it’s always best
to switch off whenever you’re near fuels, chemicals or
explosives.
Around water
Keep your phone away from water (or any other liquid). It’s not
a waterproof model.
Making repairs
Never take your phone apart. Please leave that to the
professionals. Unauthorised repairs could break the terms of
your warranty.
Broken antenna
Don’t use your phone if the antenna is damaged, as it could
cause injury.
Around children
Keep your phone out of children’s reach. It should never be
used as a toy and it might not be good for their health.
Original accessories
Only use the original accessories supplied with your phone or
![](/img.php?id=2110271&img=bg14.png)
-18-
those approved by the manufacturer. Using unapproved
accessories may affect performance, make the warranty void,
break national regulations on the use of phones, or even cause
injury.
Near explosives
Turn off your phone in or near areas where explosive materials
are used. Always obey local laws and turn off your phone when
requested.
Emergency calls
To make an emergency call your phone must be turned on
and in an area where there’s network coverage. Dial the
national emergency number and touch ‘send’. Explain exactly
where you are and don’t hang up until help has arrived.
Working temperature
The working temperature for the phone is between 0℃ and
40℃. Please don’t use the phone outside the range. Using the
phone under too high or too low temperature might cause
problems.
At very high volume, prolonged listening to a phone
can damage your hearing.

Battery care and safety
Keep the battery in a cool, ventilated place and out of direct
sunlight.
Although the battery is rechargeable, it’ll eventually start to lose
its ability to recharge. If you find that the battery won’t recharge,
it’s time to replace it.
Please don’t throw old batteries into your household rubbish.
You’ll find there are special bins for batteries at refuse collection
points. And some high street electrical stores provide a battery
recycling service too.
Never throw the battery into a fire – it’s highly inflammable and
could explode, hurting you or somebody else.
When you put the battery into your phone, there’s no need to
use force. Exerting too much pressure could make it leak,
overheat, explode or burst into flame.
Never take the battery apart. This may result in leakage,
overheating, explosion or fire.
If the battery becomes hot, changes colour or shape at any time
(when in use, charging or even while in storage) please stop
using it immediately and replace.
Keep the battery dry. Damp or wet conditions can cause it to
overheat or corrode.
Don’t leave the battery in direct sunlight or anywhere really hot,
like in a car on a summer’s day. That could make it leak or
overheat, while lowering its performance and shortening its life.
Don’t charge the battery continuously for 24 hours.
![](/img.php?id=2110271&img=bg16.png)
-20-
Overcharging is not good for it.
Note:
Please avoid contact with the materials inside a
damaged or leaking battery. If they get on your skin,
wash with lots of water and seek medical assistance if
required.
Charger care and safety
Only plug into voltages between 100VAC and 240VAC. Using
a voltage outside that range can damage the phone/charger –
and cause the battery to leak or catch fire.
Never short-circuit the charger – this may cause electrocution,
overheating or damage.
Don’t charge the phone in direct sunlight or in an area where it’s
damp, dusty, or on a vibrating surface. And charging your
phone near – or on – a TV or radio could interfere with
transmission.
Don’t use the charger if the power cable is damaged. It may
cause a fire or give someone an electric shock.
Keep water well away from the charger. If the charger does
get splashed by water, or any other kind of liquid, immediately
unplug it to avoid overheating, fire or electrocution.
Don’t take the charger apart. It could cause injury, give you an
electric shock or catch fire.
-21- 第

页
Never touch any charger, electric cable or socket with wet
hands.
Don’t place heavy objects on the electric cable.
If the cable is damaged, don’t try to mend it yourself – it could
cause a fire or electrocute you.
Always unplug the charger before you clean it.
When unplugging the charger, hold the plug itself, rather than
pulling on the cable. A damaged cable can cause
electrocution or fire.
-22-
Care and maintenance
Your phone is a delicate device. The following advice will help
you to keep it looking good and performing well…
Use a soft dry cloth to clean your phone, battery and charger.
Don’t use liquids such as alcohol, dilution agents or benzene.
From time-to-time, clean the socket where the charger cable
connects to the phone. Dust tends to gather there. This will
ensure a really good connection.
Don’t use needles, pen points or other sharp objects on the
keypad or screen.
Don’t use your phone with wet hands – it could injure you and
damage the phone.
Don’t use your phone in dusty or dirty environment.
Keep your phone away from extremes of heat – like radiators
or ovens. It may explode if it gets too hot.
If your phone gets wet and the colour of the label on it
changes, the warranty will be void, even if the warranty period
hasn’t expired.
If there’s anything wrong with the phone, battery, charger, or
any accessory, please send them to your nearest service
centre for inspection.

The SAR limit of USA (FCC) is 1.6 W/kg averaged over
one gram of tissue. Device types ZTE V883M (FCC ID:
SRQ-V883M) has also been tested against this SAR limit.
The highest SAR value reported under this standard
during product certification for use when properly worn on
the body is 1.197 W/kg and for head is 0.586 W/kg.
Simultaneous RF exposure is 1.458W/Kg.
This device was tested for typical body‐worn operations
with the back of the handset kept 10mm from the body. To
